With the progress achieved thus far in the framework of the Engage Project, the research group under Dr.Bushe has provided expertise to drive further improvements in combustion simulation of swirl-stabilizedburners. For the first time the innovative alternative methodology, Conditional Source-term Estimation (CSE)combustion model was applied to a swirl-stabilized burner to predict the flow field and temperaturedistribution using a simplified 2-step chemistry. The extention of the project via Engage Plus will allow for amore detailed investigation of the chosen test case and an attempt to improve the results by incorporating morecomplex chemistry. Such a development will provide a validation for the significant advantages CSE has tooffer compared to the commonly used methods such as PDF transport methods and Laminar Flamelet models.This approach will help provide a tool which can be used for applications in industry without the need for asupercomputer. This Engage Plus Grant will provide a perfect opportunity to strengthen the foundation for apotential long-term cooperation and further validate the ability and capability of the UBC research team toperform the work that is desired by MTU - ultimately leading to a Collaborative Research and DevelopmentGrant application.
