A new modeling approach—multiple mapping conditioning (MMC)—is introduced to treat mixing and reaction in turbulent flows. The model combines the advantages of probability density function conditional moment closure methods is based on a certain generalization concept. An equivalent stochastic formulation MMC given. validity closuring hypothesis demonstrated by comparison with direct numerical simulation results for three-stream problem.
This article follows the development of early UCG (underground coal gasification) ideas. Historical facts are discussed mainly from technological perspective and experiments in analyzed. Our search for first successful experiment brings to light a new finding, which was commonly overlooked previous reviews. We also outline key role that engineer inventor A. G. Betts played introducing technologies utilizing unmined coal; his original ideas visible modern technology.
Sparse-Lagrangian filtered density function (FDF) simulations using a generalized multiple mapping conditioning mixing model and coupling via conditional form of the equivalent enthalpy method are performed for both constant variable turbulent jet diffusion flames. The consistency between sparse-Lagrangian FDF reactive species Eulerian large eddy simulation (LES) velocity along with accuracy predictions relative to exact equilibrium solution presented in detail. sensitivity number particles...
Abstract Thermal plasma modelling of arc systems offers an efficient way to understand the dynamics inside torch and plume characteristics. Extensive usage these models necessitates efforts improve its fidelity simulate actual environment. Since is highly influenced by self-induced magnetic field, choice field formulations incorporated in model plays a crucial role. Existing based on Ampere’s law, referred as potential vector formulation (PVF), Biot-Savart law lack accuracy computational...
This work explores the implications of assuming time symmetry and applying bridge-type, time-symmetric temporal boundary conditions to deterministic laws nature with random components. The analysis, drawing on works Kolmogorov Anderson, leads two forms governing equations, referred here as symmetric antisymmetric. These equations account for emergence characteristics associated conventional thermodynamics, arrow time, a form antecedent causality. directional properties arise from...
This work follows the historical interplay between technological advancements and educational systems highlights that strengthening education has been a key driving force behind Second Third Industrial Revolutions. It seems, however, arrival of Fourth Revolution --- bringing communication platforms, AI renewable energy caught institutions unprepared. Whether we like this or not, shift means landscape is bound to change. article examines evolving dynamics modern amidst new wave progress,...
Viewed on a hydrodynamic scale, flames in experiments are often thin so that they may be described as gasdynamic discontinuities separating the dense cold fresh mixture from light hot burned products. The original model of flame discontinuity was due to Darrieus and Landau. In addition fluid dynamical equations, consists speed relation describing evolution surface, jump conditions across surface which relate variables two sides surface. Darrieus–Landau predicts, contrast observations,...
Mitarai et al. [Phys. Fluids 17, 047101 (2005)] compared turbulent combustion models against homogeneous direct numerical simulations with extinction/recognition phenomena. The recently suggested multiple mapping conditioning (MMC) was not considered and is simulated here for the same case favorable results. Implementation issues crucial successful MMC are also discussed.
