Modeling Requirements for LES of Fully Multicomponent Fuel Flows

Abstract

The Large Eddy Simulation (LES) equations for multi-component (MC) fuel two-phase flow are derived from the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) equations by filtering the DNS equations using a top-hat filter. The filtered equations contain two categories of subgrid-scale (SGS) terms that must be modeled: (1) SGS terms and (2) terms representing the 'LES assumptions'. In contrast to single-component (SC) fuels, it is shown that two LES formulations, rather than a single one, are possible, and these formulations are not equivalent. Assumptions not present in corresponding SC LES equations are examined and assessed. Criteria are proposed to select the formulation best suited for LES. These criteria are used in conjunction with evaluations based on a DNS database and lead to the final LES equations. This analysis represents the precursor to a future study for modeling the MC LES equations.
