Abstract

The LES of partially premixed turbulent flame MRB in TU Darmstadt was conducted based on the flamelet-tabulated combustion model FGM, and effects of premixed and partially premixed tabulations on the modelling results were studied. The results show that, different methods of tabulation exhibit limited influences on the predictions of the flame structure, velocity, and major species, but using a partially premixed tabulation largely improves the reliability of modelling intermediate minor species CO and H₂. The underlying reason lies in a better inclusion of the fuel-air mixing effects through the partially premixed tabulation, which is built based on laminar counter-flow flames. Adding extra transport equations for the intermediate species improves the predictions of intermediate species, especially given a premixed tabulation adopted; meanwhile, the stretch effects in this turbulent flame are ignorable. The results are significant to guide the high-fidelity simulation of partially premixed turbulent flames based on the flamelet-tabulated combustion model.
