  • ALGORITHMS: robust, accurate, iterative solvers to extract the non-linear coupling between turbulent fluid mechanics, gas and particle phase reactions, radiation, turbulent particle dispersion and NOx chemistry.
  • CAPABILITIES:
    ~ steady-state, axisymmetric, laminar or turbulent flows with complex geometries ~ polydispersed phases of gases and particles, droplets or slurries with full mass, momentum and energy coupling between phases ~ multiply reaction rate processes for liquid vaporization, coal devolatization and heterogenous particle reactions ~ radiative heat transfer for absorbing-emitting anisotropically scattering, turbulent, sooting media ~ NOx/SOx formation and destruction ~ variable thermal boundary conditions including adiabatic, thermal resistance, "heat exchanger"~
  • APPLICATIONS:
    ~ burner and furnace design ~ coal combustion and gasification ~ coal slurries, liquid sprays ~ diffusion flames ~ two-phase fluid mechanics, sorbent injection ~ radiation in participating media ~ computational fluid dynamics ~
