Laminar flamelet model prediction of NOx formation in a turbulent bluff-body combustor. (2008)
Journal Article
RAVIKANTI, M., HOSSAIN, M. and MALALASEKERA, W. 2009. Laminar flamelet model prediction of NOx formation in a turbulent bluff-body combustor. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, part A: journal of power and energy [online], 223(1), pages 41-54. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1243/09576509JPE569

A bluff-body combustor, with recirculation zone and simple boundary conditions, is ideal as a compromise for an industrial combustor for validating combustion models. This combustor, however, has proved to be very challenging to the combustion modell... Read More about Laminar flamelet model prediction of NOx formation in a turbulent bluff-body combustor..

Destruction of preferential accumulation using Lorentz force interactions. (2008)
Presentation / Conference
KARNIK, A. and SHRIMPTON, J. 2008. Destruction of preferential accumulation using Lorentz force interactions. Presented at the 22nd European conference on liquid atomization and spray systems (ILASS2008), 8-10 September 2008, Como Lake, Italy [online]. Available from: https://www.ilasseurope.org/ICLASS/ILASS2008_COMO/file/papers/5-1.pdf

The effect of electric charge, residing on particles, upon the phenomenon of preferential accumulation is investigated using direct numerical simulations of forced isotropic turbulence. It is well known that particles with a certain range of Stokes n... Read More about Destruction of preferential accumulation using Lorentz force interactions..
