RESUMO

This work presents a model for a jet diffusion flame, for low Mach and high Damköhler numbers. The model is based on the solution of the flamelet equations for the chemistry and on the mixture fraction for the flow. This model describes well the behavior of diffusion flames, except at the flame tip, where instabilities can often occur. Numerical results are presented for an one-step and multi-step chemical kinetic models, using the LES (Large-Eddy Simulation) technique with the Smagorinsky model for the turbulent viscosity. The discretization of the governing equations follows the finite difference method, with the application of the TVD (Total Variation Diminishing) technique. Besides, multi-step reduced mechanisms for the methane, the methanol and the ethanol are employed, obtaining realistic results. The flame modeling of methanol and ethanol differs from the modeling of methane flames because of a phase change occurs before the combustion. The droplets global effect is modeled based on a Lagrangian description, which is incorporated into the Eulerian description of the flow through source terms. Numerical tests were carried out for methane, methanol and ethanol diffusion flames, and the results compare well with data in the literature.
