摘要
A large eddy simulation (LES)/probability density function (PDF) approach is used to describe the small-scale soot-turbulence-chemistry interactions. The PDF approach directly evolves the joint statistics of the gas-phase scalars and a set of moments of the soot number density function. This LES/PDF approach is then used to simulate a turbulent natural gas jet diffusion flame. Since the PDF equation is high dimensional, a Lagrangian method formulated in cylindrical coordinates is coupled to the Eulerian solution technique for the LES flow equations. The LES/PDF simulations show that soot formation is highly intermittent and is always restricted to the fuel-rich region of the flow. The PDF of soot moments has a wide spread leading to a large subfilter variance. Further, the conditional statistics of soot moments conditioned on mixture fraction and reaction progress variable show strong correlation between the gas phase composition and soot moments.
