Hi Fluent users,
I wonder if we can simulate a compressible partially premixed combustion in Fluent? Actually, I set a case for a partially premixed combustion with the state relation "Flamelet Generated Manifold" under chemistry. The flamelet-mixture density is incompressible-ideal-gas. I wonder if we can work with a compressible mixture? I also choose the "Compressibility Effects" in the PDF options. Does that mean, the flow will be compressible? |

I am working on simulation of non premixed combustion of a gas turbine engine afterburner in FLUENT. when I run the simulation for ADIABATIC CASE in non premixed combustion (energy eqn 'OFF' , compressibility effects disabled) the solution is easily converged and reasonable results are obtained.
While I enable the compressibility effects in non premixed combustion window followed by recalculating the pdf table, the solution does not proceed beyond 05 iterations with error 'INCORRECT SPECIFIC HEAT VALUE' displaying for almost 100 times followed by divergence in AMG solver. (Note: I am dealing with a fuel; hydrocarbon named JP-8; chemical formula C31H48; molecular weight 420 KJ/kgmol: specific heat value 2200 J/KgK. This hydrocarbon is not available in the FLUENT database (thermodb file) therefore I am defining the fuel empirically by MANUALLY defining these values. I have also tried using various hypothetical low values of specific heat but no success. I tried with using a fuel from FLUENT database but in this case the problem of incorrect specific heat value is not encountered however convergence is still not achieved {maximum pdf table enthalpy exceeded in ------ cells}). I tried to run the solution with species model OFF (combustion OFF), taking Air as ideal gas (compressible + energy Eqn ON), solution is converged and reasonable results are achieved. Problem is encountered only with enabling the compressibility effects while modeling non premixed combustion. Further details are as follow: Mesh size: 6 Million elements (hexahedral + tetrahedral) steady state standard k-epsilon turbulence model radiation: OFF periodic boundary conditions (axisymmetric 30 deg sector) with mass flow air and fuel inlets and pressure outlet solver: Coupled (Courant number 0.3) kindly advice how to proceed with compressibility effects enabled in modeling non premixed combustion in order to avoid the aforesaid errors. please also advice am I correctly defining the empirical fuel. Thanks in anticipation for any advice please. |
