A kinetic modeling of pollutant formation in hydrocarbon flames is presented through analysis of hierar- chical structures. Based on the newly released GRI-Mech 3.0, it was mainly taken from Dean and Bozzelli (DB) and Wang mechanism respectively for the nitrogen chemistry, the for- mation and growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The modeling was improved by considering C4 and Howard’s PAH chemistry. The mechanism consists of 121 species in 731 reactions. Two premixed flame structures are predicted, and the computed results are compared with the experimental ones. It is shown that the mechanism predicts reasonably well the concentration profiles of major, key in- termediate and minor species.
Results obtained using conditional moment closure (CMC) approach to modeling a lifted turbulent hy-drogen flame are presented. Predictions are based on k-ε-g turbulent closure, a 23-step chemical mechanism and a ra-dially averaged CMC model. The objectives are to find out how radially averaged CMC can represent a lifted flame and which mechanism of flame stabilization can be described by this modeling method. As a first stage of the study of multi-dimensional CMC for large eddy simulation (LES) of the lifted turbulent flames, the effect of turbulence upon combustion is included, the high-order compact finite- difference scheme (Padé) is used and previously developed characteristic-wave-based boundary conditions for multi- component perfect gas mixtures are here extended to their conditional forms but the heat release due to combustion is not part of the turbulent calculations. Attention is focused to the lift-off region of the flame which is commonly considered as a cold flow. Comparison with published experimental data and the computational results shows that the lift-off height can be accurately determined, and Favre averaged radial profiles of temperature and species mole fractions are also reasonably well predicted. Some of the current flame stabili-zation mechanisms are discussed.
