Soot Predictions with a Laminar Flamelet Combustion Model in SIERRA/Fuego on a Coflow Scenario
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This report describes an assessment of flamelet based soot models in a laminar ethylene coflow flame with a good selection of measurements suitable for model validation. Overall flow field and temperature predictions were in good agreement with available measurements. Soot profiles were in good agreement within the flame except for near the centerline where imperfections with the acetylene-based soot-production model are expected to be greatest. The model was challenged to predict the transition between non-sooting and sooting conditions with non-negligible soot emissions predicted even down to small flow rates or flame sizes. This suggests some possible deficiency in the soot oxidation models that might alter the amount of smoke emissions from flames, though this study cannot quantify the magnitude of the effect for large fires.
