Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description | This is a consortium utilising the HPC computer, Archer to study turbulent reacting flows. Since around 95% of current energy generation and transport is fuelled by the combustion of fossil fuels, a large proportion of which are, in future, likely to be be replaced by renewable fuels - a situation that is likely to remain for the foreseeable future - the subject has wide ranging and practically important applications. |
Exploitation Route | Through publications in the archival scientific literature and via presentations at conferences and Symposia. |
Sectors | Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Energy,Transport |

Description | The stochastic fields method for solving the evolution equation for the joint pdf of the chemical species mass fractions needed to describe reaction in a turbulent flow has been adopted by Rolls-Royce Aero-engines and incorporated into their in-house Large Eddy simulation code PRECIS-UNS. THe method has also be used in conjunction with the in-house CFD code Boffin-LES by Siemens Industrial Gas Turbines and GE(Switzerland). The method provides an accurate means of accounting for turbulence-chemistry that is needed in the design of efficient low pollutant emissions gas turbine combustion chambers. |
