Best Practices in Combustion CFD, Napoli, Italy, 22-23 Sept. 2017
Design and operation of modern gas turbine engines faces the need to combine high efficiency with low pollutants emissions. At the same time, safe design and operation of such engines as well as, more generally, of any industrial chemical plants where flammable substances are stored, handled, processed or produced, requires prevention of unwanted combustion phenomena, such as explosions, and/or mitigation of their consequences. This course addresses both subjects in the perspective of CFD.

Background and objectives:
===============================

Design and operation of modern gas turbine engines faces the
need to combine high efficiency with low pollutants
emissions. At the same time, safe design and operation of
such engines as well as, more generally, of any industrial
chemical plants where flammable substances are stored,
handled, processed or produced, requires prevention of
unwanted combustion phenomena, such as explosions, and/or
mitigation of their consequences. This course addresses both
subjects in the perspective of Computational Fluid Dynamics.
CFD has become a powerful tool in design and analysis of
aero engines as well as land based and marine turbines. In
addition, it is becoming one of the most important tools for
investigating explosion scenarios.


Many numerical models exist, each having a range of
applicability, computational cost and accuracy.
Consequently, CFD experts involved in combustion engine and
explosion simulations, in addition to usual CFD skills, need
specific insight and knowledge in multi-phase flow and
combustion modelling in order to conduct thorough analysis.


In this course, the participants will learn the best
practices in CFD of gas turbine combustors and explosions.
They will discover how to select models, how to validate
numerical simulations, and which accuracy to expect. A major
part of the course is devoted to the main critical issues in
the design of modern gas turbine engines (such as spray
injection, flame ignition, flame propagation, pollutants
emissions, efficiency, including complex alternative fuels)
and simulation of explosions (such as dispersion and mixing
of reactants, unsteady flame propagation in closed vessel,
transient flame-vortex interaction, flame acceleration,
pressure evolution).


The lectures of this course, all by well-known experts in
the field, cover from basics to applications.


The course is partially based on the ERCOFTAC Best Practice
Guide on CFD of combustion, a copy of which will be provided
to the participants.In the course, also the link will be
made with the CFD programs and cases of interest for the
participants. As a result, the course provides the means for
CFD analysts to significantly enhance their use of
commercial and open-source CFD software for combustion
engineering applications.
