Detailed Description

Base-class for all Xi models used by the b-Xi combustion model. See Technical Report SH/RE/01R for details on the PDR modelling.

Xi is given through an algebraic expression (algebraic.H), by solving a transport equation (transport.H) or a fixed value (fixed.H).

See report TR/HGW/10 for details on the Weller two equations model.

In the algebraic and transport methods $\Xi_{eq}$ is calculated in similar way. In the algebraic approach, $\Xi_{eq}$ is the value used in the transport equation.

$\Xi_{eq}$ is calculated as follows:

$\Xi_{eq} = 1 + (1 + 2\Xi_{coeff}(0.5 - \dwea{b}))(\Xi^* - 1)$

where:

$\dwea{b}$ is the regress variable.

$\Xi_{coeff}$ is a model constant.

$\Xi^*$ is the total equilibrium wrinkling combining the effects of the flame instability and turbulence interaction and is given by

$\Xi^* = \frac {R}{R - G_\eta - G_{in}}$

where:

$G_\eta$ is the generation rate of wrinkling due to turbulence interaction.

$G_{in} = \kappa \rho_{u}/\rho_{b}$ is the generation rate due to the flame instability.

By adding the removal rates of the two effects:

$R = G_\eta \frac{\Xi_{\eta_{eq}}}{\Xi_{\eta_{eq}} - 1} + G_{in} \frac{\Xi_{{in}_{eq}}}{\Xi_{{in}_{eq}} - 1}$

where:

is the total removal.

$G_\eta$ is a model constant.

$\Xi_{\eta_{eq}}$ is the flame wrinkling due to turbulence.

$\Xi_{{in}_{eq}}$ is the equilibrium level of the flame wrinkling generated by instability. It is a constant (default 2.5).
