Abstract: | For the transition to a CO2-neutral energy economy, it is necessary to adapt technical combustion systems for low-emissions and highly efficient operation with alternative fuels from renewable sources. In the design of these novel combustors, numerical simulations can be a powerful tool. However, the key to a simulation-aided design process is the comprehension of the fundamental physical processes and their integration into predictive combustion models. The interaction of flames with combustor walls is one of these crucial physical phenomena. Flame-wall interactions result in heat losses that decrease the combustion efficiency and increase pollutant formation. In this thesis, the modeling of flame-wall interactions with chemistry manifolds is investigated in several generic configurations. The starting point is the investigation of laminar, premixed flame-wall interaction under atmospheric conditions. Previous findings of methane-air flames are extended to more complex oxygenated fuels. Subsequently, the complexity of the configuration is progressively increased. In a second configuration, the effect of turbulence on the quenching flame is addressed. On the one hand, flame-vortex interaction is analyzed. This mixing phenomenon is caused by the interaction of turbulent vortices with the flame tip and alters the near-wall flame structure and pollutant formation. A novel chemistry manifold is presented and validated that captures the effect of flame-vortex interactions by an additional manifold dimension. On the other hand, a novel turbulence-chemistry interaction closure model is presented. The model accounts for the effect of unresolved fluctuations in Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and large eddy simulations. In two further configurations, the impact of external mixture stratification and pressure effects is investigated. The relevant physical phenomena, that must be integrated into existing closure models, are identified. The insights gained provide the foundation for future model development. In conclusion, this thesis presents significant advancements in the modeling of flame-wall interaction using chemistry manifolds that pave the path toward the simulation of partially premixed, turbulent flame-wall interactions under pressurized conditions within technical combustors. |
