In this work, a single sector lean burn model combustor operating in pilot only mode has been investigated using both experiments and computations with the main objective of analyzing the flame structure and soot formation at conditions relevant to aero-engine applications. Numerical simulations were performed using the large eddy simulation (LES) approach and the conditional moment closure (CMC) combustion model with detailed chemistry and a two-equation model for soot. The CMC model is based on the time-resolved solution of the local flame structure and allows to directly take into account the phenomena associated to molecular mixing and turbulent transport, which are of great importance for the prediction of emissions. The rig investigated in this work, called big optical single sector rig, allows to test real scale lean burn injectors. Experiments, performed at elevated pressure and temperature, corresponding to engine conditions at part load, include planar laser-induced fluorescence of OH (OH-PLIF) and phase Doppler anemometry (PDA) and have been complemented with new laser-induced incandescence (LII) measurements for soot location. The wide range of measurements available allows a comprehensive analysis of the primary combustion region and can be exploited to further assess and validate the LES/CMC approach to capture the flame behavior at engine conditions. It is shown that the LES/CMC approach is able to predict the main characteristics of the flame with a good agreement with the experiment in terms of flame shape, spray characteristics and soot location. Finite-rate chemistry effects appear to be very important in the region close to the injection location leading to the lift-off of the flame. Low levels of soot are observed immediately downstream of the injector exit, where a high amount of vaporized fuel is still present. Further downstream, the fuel vapor disappears quite quickly and an extended region characterized by the presence of pyrolysis products and soot precursors is observed. The strong production of soot precursors together with high soot surface growth rates lead to high values of soot volume fraction in locations consistent with the experiment. Soot oxidation is also very important in the downstream region resulting in a decrease of the soot level at the combustor exit. The results show a very promising capability of the LES/CMC approach to capture the main characteristics of the flame, soot formation, and location at engine relevant conditions. More advanced soot models will be considered in future work in order to improve the quantitative prediction of the soot level.

The tabulated premixed conditional moment closure (T-PCMC) method has been shown to provide the capability to model turbulent, premixed methane flames with detailed chemistry and reasonable runtimes in Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) environment by Martin et al. (2013, “Modeling an Enclosed, Turbulent Reacting Methane Jet With the Premixed Conditional Moment Closure Method,” ASME Paper No. GT2013-95092). Here, the premixed conditional moment closure (PCMC) method is extended to large eddy simulation (LES). The new model is validated with the turbulent, enclosed reacting methane backward facing step data from El Banhawy et al. (1983, “Premixed, Turbulent Combustion of a Sudden-Expansion Flow,” Combust. Flame, 50, pp. 153–165). The experimental data have a rectangular test section at atmospheric pressure and temperature with an inlet velocity of 10.5 m/s and an equivalence ratio of 0.9 for two different step heights. Contours of major species, velocity, and temperature are provided. The T-PCMC model falls into the class of table lookup turbulent combustion models in which the combustion model is solved offline over a range of conditions and stored in a table that is accessed by the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code using three controlling variables: the reaction progress variable (RPV), variance, and local scalar dissipation rate. The local scalar dissipation rate is used to account for the affects of the small-scale mixing on the reaction rates. A presumed shape beta function probability density function (PDF) is used to account for the effects of subgrid scale (SGS) turbulence on the reactions. SGS models are incorporated for the scalar dissipation and variance. The open source CFD code OpenFOAM is used with the compressible Smagorinsky LES model. Velocity, temperature, and major species are compared to the experimental data. Once validated, this low “runtime” CFD turbulent combustion model will have great utility for designing the next generation of lean premixed (LPM) gas turbine combustors.
