Résumé
Abstract

Des Simulations aux Grandes Échelles dʼun brûleur expérimental swirlé sont réalisées au moyen de deux codes, lʼun compressible et lʼautre bas Mach. Les simulations sont obtenues utilisant les deux codes pour évaluer leur performance et déduire une stratégie potentielle de modélisation. Les champs moyens de vitesse sont comparés aux résultats expérimentaux. La suite de cet article sʼoriente sur la détermination des pertes de charge au travers du système dʼinjection, fortement dépendantes de paramètres tels que la résolution du maillage, le traitement des parois et le code. Deux approches numériques sont disponibles, soit le choix de résoudre entièrement lʼécoulement, soit dʼutiliser une loi de paroi. Les résultats montrent que pour des écoulements à nombres de Reynolds élevés, la loi de paroi fournit de meilleures prédictions en réduisant lʼerreur par rapport aux résultats expérimentaux avec un coût global de calcul raisonnable.

Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of a swirl experimental burner are performed using a compressible and a low Mach number solver. The investigations are focused on the modeling strategies in LES aimed at validating the flow predictions and principally the associated pressure losses. Accurate prediction of pressure drop through complex geometries, such as those typically encountered in industrial swirlers, is indeed of paramount importance to design and optimize the engine efficiency. LES is here probed and tested to identify the model parameters affecting pressure losses: grid resolution, wall treatment or solver accuracy, with the aim of highlighting the requirements for accurate pressure drop predictions. Results show that for the high Reynolds number flow considered, the wall law model provides the best predictions and minimizes the error compared to experimental findings with a reasonable overall CPU cost.
