Soot in aeronautics - towards enhanced aeroengine combustor modelling (SIA-TEAM)

Objective

At the on sight of the expected tripling of global aircraft traffic until 2015, the corresponding pollutant emission must not be neglected. Aero engine development is highly supported by CDF code calculations to evaluate construction details with regard to their impact on combustion related parameters and emissions. Therefore, a reliable and validated soot model implemented in CFD codes offers means not only to reduce expensive rig tests, but as well to open the possibility for new combustor design concepts with the potential of reducing pollutant emissions, in particular soot. This project will deliver an Enhanced and validated mechanistic Soot Model (ESM) for kerosene like fuels. CFD codes will demonstrate their improved predictive capability using the reduced ESM combined with radiative heat transfer models under aero engine combustor conditions. The influence of the liquid phase on soot formation will be tested on its significance.
