Oxygen Deficient Metabolism in Organs: A Link to Combustion Science
… to living cells in surrounding tissue, the group combustion (O2 deficient) concept from the field of combustion science in engineering is applied to the biological field of microvascular O2 transport from capillaries to cells immersed in interstitial fluid (IF). The conventional Krogh model …

Establishing global error bounds for model reduction in combustion
… become important in policymaking, industry, and combustion science. However, simulations of reacting flows can be extremely computationally demanding due to the wide range of length scales involved in turbulence, the wide range of time scales involved in chemical reactions, and the large number …

Coal gasification for fuel synthesis: Multiphysics modeling and new concepts
… for various applications. In the field of combustion science, CWS have been recommended as a substitute for the traditional fossil fuels. The idea is to suspend carbon (coal or coal) particles in water and then inject them as a spray into a gasifier or boiler. The potential benefits are …

Structure and stabilization of cryogenic spray flames
… stages so that model problems from the field of combustion science can be applied. First the base of the flame is divided into two parts and one is treated as a counterflow diffusion flame above a condensed surface. Numerical simulations performed here add new results to the study of this …

Development of a new apparatus to measure flame spread through a free stratified fuel/air mixture: numerical modeling and experimental results
… fuel-air mixtures has been widely studied in combustion science, there has been relatively little attention given to the study of non-homogenous, or layered, fuel-air mixtures. However, these systems are common occurrences in such cases as terrestrial fuel spills and fuel leaks in both normal …

Numerical Modeling of Turbulent Combustion and Flame Spread
… aspects of numerical modeling of turbulent combustion and flame spread. The developed models include a pyrolysis model for charring and non-charring solid materials, a fast narrow band radiation property evaluation model (FASTNB) and a turbulence model for buoyant flow and flame. In the …

Quantitative measurements of temperature using laser-induced thermal grating spectroscopy in reacting and non-reacting flows
… the spatial distribution of temperature in combustion environments. In addition, the parameters that in influence the local temperature rise due to LITGS were also investigated in continuous vapour flows of acetone/air and toluene/air mixtures at atmospheric conditions. Acetone and toluene …
