Abstract
The effects of turbulent burning velocities in a turbulent premixed combustion simulation with a G-equation are investigated using the 3D LES technique. Two turbulent burning velocity models – Kobayashi model, which takes into account the burning velocity pressure effect, and the Pitsch model, which considers the flame regions on the premixed flame structure – are implemented. An LM6000 combustor is employed to validate the turbulent premixed combustion model. The results show that the flame structures in front of the injector have different shapes in each model because of the different turbulent burning velocities. These different flame structures induce changes in the entire combustor flow field, including in the recirculation zone. The dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) method and linear acoustic analysis provide the dominant acoustic mode.
