The Development of Combustion Design Tools Using Direct Simulation Techniques

燃烧流动的随机计算机模型的成功开发将是通向可靠设计技术的重要一步。所提出的是一个模型，它将绕过化学动力学的复杂性，同时利用最近在多处理，湍流模拟和燃烧混合方面的进展。尽管雄心勃勃，需要仔细地与现实联系起来，但一个工作模型将在广泛的燃烧应用中非常有用，从小型加热器到大型锅炉和喷气发动机。

The successful development of a stochastic computer model of combustion flows would be a major step on the way to reliable design techniques. What is proposed is a model which would bypass the complexity of chemical kinetics, while using recent advances in multiprocessing, turbulent flow simulation and combustion mixing. Although ambitious and in need of careful correlation with reality, a working model would be extremely useful in a wide range of combustion applications, from small heaters to giant boilers and jet engines.
