The globally recognized importance of hydrogen in meeting the future energy demand of mankind is broadly based on its non-polluting incorporation into the general nature cycle. Simultaneously, the use of hydrogen can mitigate and even reverse the dangerous perturbation of the equilibrium in the earth`s atmosphere. However, high costs and safety risks prevent its wider use. Optimization of the combustion process and the elimination of potential risks are therefore of obvious importance. Sophisticated CFD software packages provide an effective approach to the solution of these complex problems. This paper describes numerical flow simulations of the mixing process and chemical reactions between oxygen and air. The simulation results were validated by experiment. The studies also revealed that powerful simulation tools can be used to improve combustion process efficiency. This can significantly reduce the load on the environment.
