Combustion and Reactions Chapter 3: Laminar Non-premixed flames
Clear engineering notes on laminar non-premixed (diffusion) flames, covering mixture fraction theory, flame structure, fast vs finite-rate chemistry, and CFD modeling approaches, with insights from experiments and flamelet concepts.
Combustion and Reactions Chapter 2: Laminar premixed flames
Concise engineering notes on laminar premixed flames and their role in combustion modeling. The chapter explains flame structure, flame speed, combustion regimes, progress variables, and the relationship between chemical kinetics and transport processes. It also introduces CFD modeling strategies for premixed combustion in ANSYS Fluent, including combustion models, detailed chemical mechanisms, CHEMKIN integration, and chemistry acceleration techniques used to handle stiff reaction systems
Combustion and Reactions Chapter 1: Chemical Reaction and Transport
Foundational notes on chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, transport, ignition, and characteristic time scales in reacting flows, forming the backbone of combustion modeling.
