Advanced Studies of Turbulent Combustion: Premixed to Nonpremixed

尽管资源有限，但世界将继续严重依赖化石燃料来满足日益增长的能源需求。因此，迫切需要更清洁、更有效的燃烧，不仅是为了节约能源，也是为了减少环境污染物的排放。该项目涉及几个主要的湍流燃烧领域，涵盖了气体和液体燃料的预混和非预混火焰。每个项目都涉及复杂的计算和验证，使用先进的激光诊断方法获得测量结果。这是一个主要的研究计划，导致先进的数值方法，最终将在数值工具中实施，以优化燃烧室设计。

Despite limited resources, the world will continue to rely heavily on fossil fuels to satisfy the growing energy requirements. There is a pressing need, therefore, for cleaner, more efficient combustion not only to conserve energy but also to reduce environmental emissions of pollutants. This project tackles several major areas of turbulent combustion covering premixed and nonpremixed flames of gaseous and liquid fuels. Each project involves complex calculations and validation with measurements obtained using advanced laser diagnostic methods. This is a major research program leading to advanced numerical methods which will eventually be implemented in numerical tools to optimise combustor designs.
