A Fully Coupled Approach for Predicting Pollutants Formation through Reactor Network Analysis

CP13. A truthful estimation of pollutants formation in turbulent combustion devices requires the combination of accurate CFD simulations and detailed kinetic mechanisms. In this work this is accomplished by adopting a kinetic post-processing technique, which consists in transforming a CFD simulation into a network of chemical reactors. The reliability and the accuracy of the proposed procedure is demonstrated through several examples, from lab-scale flames to more complex systems, like furnaces and combustors for aircrafts.
