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…
