The full-flow staged combustion engine is often considered the “Holy Grail” of rocketry, as it promises to extract the most possible energy from its liquid propellants.

Phase III is optimization of the combustion with the equipment. The results from Phase I indicated significant pipe-to-pipe fuel flow maldistributions, as shown in Table 1.

Rocket engines use fuel injectors to deliver a fuel, usually hydrogen, and oxygen, the “oxidizer”, to a combustion chamber where ignition and subsequent combustion of the fuel occurs. The researchers ...

The way toward cleaner coal plants New landmark in modeling turbulence, paving the road to better power plant modeling and design Date: June 9, 2017 Source: Gauss Centre for Supercomputing Summary ...

In this video from PASC18, Saumil Patel from Argonne describes his poster on engine combustion simulation. "This work marks a milestone achievement in using Nek5000, a highly-scalable computational ...

The study of the phenomena of in-cylinder flow, spray and combustion by measurement and calculation has been vigorously pursued, because thermal efficiency and emissions of the D. I.diesel engine are ...

The introduction of tumble into the combustion chamber is an effective method of enhancing turbulence intensity prior to ignition, thereby accelerating the burn rates, stabilizing the combustion, and ...

Flow Simulator is an integrated flow, heat transfer, and combustion design software, which enables mixed fidelity simulations to optimize machine and systems design.

The Combustion and Flow Research Laboratory (CFRL) at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI, focuses on turbulence, thermodynamics, and combustion research with emphasis on energy conversion ...
