Abstract

Three-dimensional numerical analysis of the turbulent premixed flame propagation in a constant volume combustion chamber is performed using the KIVA-3V code (Amsden et. al. 1997) by the flame surface density (FSD) model. A simple near-wall boundary condition is eaployed to describe the interaction between turbulent premixed flame and the wall. A mean stretch factor is introduced to include the stretch and curvature effects of turbulence. The results from the FSD model are compared with the experimental results of schlieren photos and pressure measurements. It is found that the burned mass rate and flame propagation by the FSD model are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The FSD combustion model proved to be effective for description of turbulent premixed flames.
