Abstract

This paper describes a new computational model developed based on the filtered mass density function (FMDF) for large-eddy simulation (LES) of two-phase turbulent reacting flows. The model is implemented with a unique Lagrangian–Eulerian–Lagrangian computational methodology. In this methodology, the resolved carrier gas velocity field is obtained by solving the filtered form of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with high-order finite difference (FD) schemes. The gas scalar (temperature and species mass fractions) field and the liquid (droplet) phase are both obtained by Lagrangian methods. The two-way interactions between the phases and all the Eulerian and Lagrangian fields are included in the new two-phase LES/FMDF methodology. The results generated by LES/FMDF are compared with direct numerical simulation (DNS) data for a spatially developing non-reacting and reacting evaporating mixing layer. Results for two more complex and practical flows (a dump combustor and a double-swirl burner) are also considered. For all flows, it is shown that the two-phase LES/FMDF results are consistent and accurate.
