Sandia Flame D within the EU-project MOLECULES FP5, Contract N° G4RD-CT-2000-00402.
The computations were performed with  the  BOFFIN-LES code
developed at Imperial College by the group of Professor W.P. Jones. The
software for the Conditional Moment Closure model used in  calculations
was developed by Professor E. Mastorakos at  Cambridge  University  and
implemented in the BOFFIN-LES code by the team  of  the  Institute  of
Thermal Machinery.


Sandia Flame D is a  widely  used  test  case  for  the  validation  of
numerical models of non-premixed  combustion.  This  flame  is  of  the
flamelet regime type in which  a  scale  separation  appears  i.e.  the
smallest scales of the  turbulent  flow,  the  Kolmogorov  scales,  are
significantly larger than the scales characteristic  for  the  reaction
zone.  Such  a  flame  facilitates  the  study  of  models  of
turbulence/chemistry interaction, allowing to separate the influence of
turbulence  and  turbulence/chemistry  interaction  models  from  the
influence of chemical kinetics models applied. Non-premixed  combustion
is limited by turbulent mixing and dominated by large scale structures.
The quality of unsteady flow dynamics predictions seems to  be  crucial
for the quality of the overall combustion process. Hence,  within  this
document attention is restricted to LES calculations and  neither  RANS
nor URANS predictions are included or analyzed.

Abstract

This test case provides data on the in-cylinder flow for an IC engine under motored operation. The Technische Universität Darmstadt engine features a typical design of a modern spark-ignition direct injection engine. It is an optically accessible single cylinder engine especially designed to provide well characterized boundary conditions and reproducible engine operation, a prerequisite for any comparison of experiments and simulations. The in-cylinder flow is characterized by various particle image velocimetry (PIV) techniques to provide measurements at high spatial and temporal resolution. The database for validation includes the first two statistical moments (mean and rms) of velocities, spatial flow structures and the temporal evolution of the flow field over the entire engine cycle in the central tumble plane. Information on the 3D flow is available within a volume up to 8 mm thick centered on the central tumble plane. Important boundary conditions such as the in-cylinder, intake- and exhaust-port pressures as well as temperatures are given. Simulation results obtained from three investigations using LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and hybrid URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes)/LES are presented and compared with the experimental results.
