Burner Modeling

modeling of the fluid dynamics of a turbulent burner (without reactions) in OpenFoam.

Features:

• $v_{gas} = 20 m/s$
• EGR (exhaust gas recirculation)
  • $v_{gasEGR} = -5m/s$
• dual stage burning
  • $v_{gas2stage} = 10 m/s$
• $D_{equivalent} = 11 cm$
• custom burner for steam reforming
• 7 Mln mesh, run on 16 cores.
• RANS simulation, turbulence model: K-omega_SST
