9.8.2. Turbulent Burning Velocity

Select the model for the turbulent burning velocity. For many gas turbine applications, the Zimont model, which is the default, is a good choice.

9.8.2.1. Value

Specify the value for the turbulent burning velocity. Typically, this will be an expression in terms of the laminar burning velocity.

9.8.2.2. Zimont Correlation

Set the critical velocity gradient parameter to control the flame stretch and flame extinction under high turbulence. The default value of [1/s] is appropriate for methane/air combustion at standard conditions. At higher pressures, better results may be obtained by increasing the value. For details, see Adjusting Model Coefficients in the CFX-Solver Theory Guide.

Variable expressions (CEL) may be specified for Turbulent Burning Velocity Factor , Critical Velocity Gradient and Variance Coefficient .

9.8.2.3. Peters Correlation

For details on the model coefficients, see Adjusting Model Coefficients in the CFX-Solver Theory Guide.

9.8.2.4. Mueller Correlation

Set Critical Scalar Dissipation to control the amount of quenching occurring under rapid mixing. The default value is [1/s]. For details on the model coefficients, see Adjusting Model Coefficients in the CFX-Solver Theory Guide.

A variable expression (CEL) may be specified for Critical Scalar Dissipation.
