THE INFLUENCE OF REAL-GAS THERMODYNAMICS ON SIMULATIONS OF FREELY PROPAGATING FLAMES IN METHANE/OXYGEN/INERT MIXTURES

The modeling of high-pressure combustion presents a continuing challenge in the context of chemical kinetics and mixture transport properties. This is mainly due to a lack of experimental data at high pressures. Consequently, there is limited confidence in the accuracy of simulations above moderate pressures. In this paper real gas thermodynamics is included in reacting flow simulations, e.g., by adopting the Redlich–Kwong equation of state, …
