Strain-Rate-Consistent -Based Non-Premixed Flamelet Model

Sylvain L. Walsh, Yalu Zhu, Feng Liu +1

This numerical study examines a strain-rate inconsistency in the conventional flamelet/progress-variable (FPV) formulation for non-premixed combustion and proposes an alternative c…

Large-Eddy Simulation of Reacting Flow in a Turbine Stage

Yalu Zhu, Feng Liu, William A. Sirignano

An in-house large-eddy simulation (LES) code is applied to compute the chemically reacting flow in a turbine stage to analyze the influence of fuel injection and combustion on its…

Data-Driven Modal Decomposition Analysis of Unsteady Flow in a Multi-Stage Turbine

Yalu Zhu, Feng Liu

Two data-driven modal analysis approaches, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), are applied to analyze the unsteady flow obtained by solving…
