Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has developed a simulation method for combustion and multi-component flow dynamics under supercritical pressures. The method introduced the non-ideal thermodynamic and transport property models to consider peculiar behaviors that appear in supercritical pressures. All the models were fully validated in comparison with experimental or reference data. The flame propagation problems under supercritical pressures demonstrated that the non-ideal effects in the diffusion coefficient are the most influential for the prediction of laminar flame speeds. Regarding thinner flame in higher-pressure conditions, we have developed a new flame model, with which the flame propagation behavior under elevated pressure conditions was successfully captured even on coarser grids. Besides, we constructed a non-ideal fluid library, with which the non-ideal thermodynamic and transport properties are easily obtained in arbitrary simulation programs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在,急速な温暖化をはじめとして地球環境問題の改善が喫緊の課題である.燃焼機器の熱効率向上を目的に,現在考慮されていないような超高圧環境下での燃焼技術が今後求められる可能性がある.本研究で開発した超臨界圧流体および燃焼シミュレーション技術は,従来のシミュレーション技術ではあまり考慮されていない流体非理想性を適切に考慮したものであり,今後の高圧燃焼流体解析技術およびそれを使用した燃焼技術の革新に資するものである.また,非理想モデルは汎用性ある形で計算ライブラリ化されており,それぞれのシミュレーションプログラムにおいて使用可能である.これにより,本研究成果の社会展開が可能である.
