LINE-BY-LINE RANDOM-NUMBER DATABASE FOR MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS OF RADIATION IN COMBUSTION SYSTEM
摘要
With today's computational capabilities, it has become possible to conduct line-by-line accurate radiative heat transfer calculations in spectrally highly nongray combustion systems using the Monte Carlo method. In these calculations, wavenumbers carried by photon bundles must be determined in a statistically meaningful way. The wavenumbers for the emitting photons are found from a database, which tabulates wavenumber−random number relations for each species. In order to cover most conditions found in industrial practices, a database tabulating these relations for CO2, H2O, CO, CH4, C2H4 and soot is constructed to determine emission wavenumbers and absorption coefficients for mixtures at temperatures up to 3000 K and total pressures up to 80 bar. The accuracy of the database is tested by reconstructing absorption coefficient spectra from the tabulated database. One-dimensional test cases are used to validate the database against analytical LBL solutions. Sample calculations are also conducted for a luminous flame and a turbine combustion burner. The database is available from the author's website upon request at http://eng.ucmerced.edu/people/mmodest.
