A sub-scale GOx/GCH4 rocket combustor has been simulated by different groups using various numerical methods.The current contribution focuses on the effects of chemistry and combustion modeling turbulent flame shape structure, as well resulting axial pressure profile wall heat flux, for which experimental data are available.Two kinetic schemes have used, combined with models turbulence turbulence-combustion interaction (TCI).To evaluate impact chemistry, first studied canonical laminar...
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The present paper reports experimental and numerical research activities devoted to deeply characterize the behavior performance of a Heavy Duty (HD) internal combustion engine fed by compressed natural gas (CNG). Current interest in HD engines gaseous fuels with low C/H ratios is related well-known potential such reducing carbon dioxide emissions, combined extremely particulate matter emissions too. Moreover, methane,...
