MAE 6430 - [Computational Combustion]


Spring. 4 credits.

Prerequisite: graduate standing or permission of instructor Next offered 2012-2013.

Staff.

Examines laminar and turbulent flames and fundamental chemical and transport processes involved. Emphasis is on using computational tools (Chemkin and Fluent) to calculate flame properties, which are compared to experimental data. Topics include thermodynamic equilibrium, chemical kinetics, reactor studies, conservation equations, transport properties, laminar premixed and non-premixed flames, turbulent jets, turbulence modeling, and PDF models of nonpremixed turbulent combustion. A knowledge of combustion at the level of MAE 5430 , Combustion Processes, is useful but not required.
