U.S.-France Collaboration on Premixed Turbulent Combustion Model Development and Validation

9314497 Gouldin这一为期三年的奖项支持康奈尔大学、位于奥尔良和普瓦蒂埃的法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)实验室以及英国剑桥大学的研究小组在燃烧和热物理方面的美法合作研究。项目负责人是来自康奈尔大学的弗雷德里克·C·古尔丁和来自CNRS/奥尔良的伊斯肯德·戈卡尔普。他们研究的目标是改进预混湍流燃烧系统的燃烧模型。这项合作将康奈尔大学和奥尔良大学的实验学家与普瓦蒂埃大学和剑桥大学的理论家聚集在一起。该项目利用美国和法国研究人员开发的新方法，对预混湍流火焰的重要特性进行关键测量。这些数据将用于与Poitiers和剑桥的建模人员合作进行模型验证和改进。预混湍流燃烧具有相当重要的实际意义，预混燃烧系统在全球化石燃料消耗中占有相当大的比例。该项目将导致新的预混湍流燃烧模型，进而有助于设计高效、低排放的燃烧室。***

9314497 Gouldin This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in combustion and thermal physics among research groups at Cornell University, the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) laboratories at Orleans and Poitiers, and Cambridge University, United Kingdom. The project leaders are Frederick C. Gouldin, Cornell, and Iskender Gokalp, CNRS/Orleans. The objective of their research is to improve combustion models for premixed turbulent combustion systems. The collaboration brings together experimentalists at Cornell and Orleans with theoreticians at Poitiers and Cambridge University. The project takes advantage of new methods for making critical measurements of important properties of premixed turbulent flames developed by the U.S. and French researchers. This data will be used for model validation and refinement in cooperation with the modelers at Poitiers and Cambridge. Premixed turbulent combustion is of considerable practical importance, and premixed combustion systems account for a significant fraction of fossil fuel consumption worldwide. This project will lead to new models for premixed turbulent combustion which in turn can assist in the design of efficient, low-emission combustors. ***
