SFB 606:  Non-Stationary Combustion: Transportphenomena, Chemical Reactions, Technical Systems

Subject Area Thermal Engineering/Process Engineering
Term from 2002 to 2012
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5485063
 

Project Description

The mixing of fuel and oxidiser and combustion in (direct injecting) combustion engines happens fundamentally instationary and the combustion process in gas turbines and technical combustion set-ups are frequently specified by instationary phenomena. Instationary phenomena are also the cause of essential technical problems of sustainable combustion concepts. The short-term and middle-term vision of this joint research project is the understanding of instationary phenomena in technical combustion so that advanced combustion concepts that have a guaranteed future can be brought on the road to technical success. In this connection also models, which constitute developmental tools of technical combustion set-ups, should been made physical safe. Based on the development of modern optical diagnostic processes and numerical methods of the past years, questions will be taken up, which up to now could not been tackled in this way. The long-term vision is the development of a basically understanding of combustion, chemical reactions, mass and heat transfer and the coupling in instationary velocity-, temperature- and pressure fields in single- or multiphase flows.
