Summary on Grant Application Form
The overall objective is the improvement of combustion efficiency and the reduction of noxious emissions. The means to this are careful control of the mixing and combustion processes in engines, burners and flares. Mathematical models of combustion are reaching the stage of being sufficiently general and accurate to be valuable aids in these endeavours. At present, a Reynolds stress-laminar flamlet code represents a realistic approach to computer generated solutions and this approach will be developed. It is dependant upon the detailed chemical kinetics, the flow fields and its turbulence. The flows can be complex ad three-dimensional. The codes reflect this and can have long run times. This will be encountered by parallel computing techniques. The final code will be applied to industrial gas burners, explosions and flares, in close collaboration with British Gas and Shell.
