Multi-inlet kerosene/air flame with scheme

Objectives

The Stochastic_ReducedLuche test case shows the reduction of a reduced version of the Luche scheme , for a 0D 2-inlet configuration. Started with 43 species and 302 reactions, we reduce to 23 species and 221 reactions.

Principle

The configuration has 2 inlets, one of air and the second one of pure n-decane. The Luche scheme represents the fuel with a composition mainly based on n-decane (~77%) and we choose to start from a 100% n-decane fuel here, in order to run a relatively quick test case. The target species here are $CO$, $CO_{2}$ and $O_{2}$.

Key parameters

The main parameters are found in the condition.cpp file.

  configuration = "MultipleInlet";
  step = "DRGEP_species";

When you perform the next steps, the given mech is the one chosen from the previously step.

  mech= "mechanisms/luche_red_43s.xml";
  mech_desc = "luche";

  //Inlet 1
  listInlets.push_back(new MultipleInlet(
               /*Temperature*/ 750,
               /*Pressure*/ 1E+05,

A third inlet is set for the burned gases, with the composition calculated at equilibrium.

   //BurnedGases
  listInlets.push_back(new Characteristics_MultipleInlet(
               /*Temperature*/ 2000,
               /*Pressure*/ 1E+05,
               /*Mass flow rate*/ 0.200,

               /*BurnedGases*/ true));

Be careful, the new_mixing parameter must be set to true only for the first step (DRGEP_species in that case).

  new_mixing = true;

Results

DRGEP step

The DRGEP_Species step ranks the species as follows
