Abstract
Combustion, one of the main forms of energy production nowadays, is a complex phenomenon in which turbulent flow, chemical reactions, different phases and heat transfer phenomena can interact. A better understanding of these interactions is essential to improve existing combustion systems and develop new ones. The aim of this work was to study the interaction of turbulent combustion with thermal radiation with the aid of three-dimensional numerical simulation. Using the CORBA computational tool, a code for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of combustion was coupled with a radiative heat transfer code. This technique allows information to be exchanged between the two codes without major changes in their structure, so that advantage can be taken of the different characteristic time of each phenomenon in a high-performance parallel-computing environment. This study is the continuation of an earlier two-dimensional study. The results show a change in the temperature and species fields as well as in the flame dynamics when thermal radiation is taken into account.
