Single Droplet Combustion (DPM)

nesdroplet · September 13, 2021, 08:11

Hello everyone!

Currently, I am working on single droplet combustion simulations. To perform this study, I am using DPM model in FLUENT (Version 2021 R1). Is the DPM model best suited for a single droplet, or for a larger number of droplets/particles??
Additionally, the static temperature results are a bit lower than excepted, could it be an influence on the mesh?

Best regards!

For single droplet, I am not sure DPM gives you that much info… you basically have one really small particle in a large domain.

you sure you shouldn’t use something like VOF?

First of all, thank you for your response.

I am aware that VOF could be a better approach. However, for a fundamental study, I decided to start with DPM.

To ensure the single droplet combustion, I determine the injection taking into consideration the space between droplets related to mass flow that enters the combustion zone. For this analysis, I was considering to obtain the combustion time and burning rate.

Do you have any advice?

Nop

. Also, since the DPM include a lot of modelling, your temperature difference could be for a lot of different reasons, last but not least the use of DPM itself. Also turbulence and combustion modelling play a role.

I guess it's part of your thesis to figure those things out.

can any one tell me how to calculate the non-dimensional diameter square of fuel droplet in convective environment and having evapouration and combustion with air in Ansys Fluent. what i calculate to find (d2/do2)??
I have take VOF model
