ABSTRACT

To test and verify the FLUENT CFD package for a class of flows with turbulent diffusion flames (at a small vorticity parameter), a detailed comparison of the results of numerical simulation and experimental data is given. To compare the results of numerical simulation, we selected the well-known and documented experimental investigation of diffusion combustion of a gaseous fuel (40%CO, 30%H₂, 30%N₂) carried out by a group of researchers [1-2], where the fields of average velocity, temperature, and of the mass fractions of the components N₂, O₂, CO₂, H₂O, H₂, CO, OH, and NO are presented rather comprehensively.
