Description
Combustion Jet CFD Simulation, ANSYS Fluent Training
Description
This tutorial has a cylindrical domain in which air enters at a 1m/s velocity. At the same time, ethylene(C2H4) by three jets and a high velocity of 40m/s penetrates the solution domain, mixes with the air, and combustion occurs using the eddy-dissipation model. Top and bottom inlets enter with a 30o degree related to the horizontal line, and their flows hit the middle inlet.
The geometry of the solution is a 2D rectangular domain whose length in the X and Y directions is 1.5m and 0.5m, respectively. Side inlets are 234mm away from the centerline of the geometry. Note that, Design Modeler software is used to create the geometry of the solution. In addition, ANSYS Meshing software is used for generating 9,928 Structured mesh grids.
This CFD project is the 13th episode of the ANSYS Fluent General Training Course
Methodology: Combustion Jet CFD Simulation
The simulation is Steady and the Pressure-based solver type is used due to the incompressibility of the working fluid. The gravitational acceleration effects are neglected. The Volumetric Reaction of the Species Transport model is used to define combustion.
Conclusion
At the end of the solution process, two-dimensional contours of pressure, velocity, temperature, and volume fractions of all materials consisted in the solution are achieved. Mass fractions of pollutants are also obtained. The side inlets’ ethylene flow moves to the domain’s centerline.
It hits the center flow so that the mixture of O2 from the air inlet mixes with the ethylene. The combustion occurs and the temperature reaches a high value. The Mass-Weighted Average of Static Temperature at the outlet surface is 1113.0554.

What effects do the inlets’ orientation and high ethylene velocity have on the combustion process in the domain?
MR CFD Support –
The orientation of the inlets and the high velocity of ethylene significantly impact the overall flow dynamics and combustion efficiency. The inlets being positioned at a 30-degree angle relative to the horizontal encourages mixing as the flows collide, enhancing the mixing of the air with the ethylene which is crucial for effective combustion. The high velocity of ethylene assists in increasing the momentum, further promoting rapid mixing and the introduction of reactants. These conditions facilitate a more comprehensive reaction zone and can lead to higher combustion temperatures and altered distributions of species and pollutants in the domain.

Lonzo Pfeffer –
I was wondering after Jet Combustion tutorial if there’s a technique recommended in situations to prevent backflow when combustion is involved?
MR CFD Support –
In CFD simulations with combustion, to prevent backflow at the outlet boundaries, it is generally recommended to use pressure outlet boundary conditions that specify a backflow temperature and species composition. Additionally, a sufficiently developed outlet length can help stabilize the flow and reduce the potential for backflow. Keeping the outlet pressure lower than the inlet pressure is crucial.

Ms. Theresia Moore I –
I’m curious about the impact of the 30-degree angle for the top and bottom inlets on the overall efficiency of the combustion process. Can you elaborate on how this angle choice affects the simulation results?
MR CFD Support –
The 30-degree angle of the top and bottom inlets is important as it influences the mixing efficiency of the air with the fuel jets, which is a critical factor for efficient combustion. With the inlets oriented at this angle, the air streams are directed towards the central ethylene jet, promoting better mixing and consequently more effective combustion. If the angle enables a more uniform distribution of oxygen, it could lead to a more complete burn, higher temperatures, and reduced emissions of unburned hydrocarbons. This setup can also result in intricate patterns in flow, temperature, and species concentration fields, which are successfully captured in the results obtained from the simulation.

MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your positive feedback! In simulations like this, it can indeed be challenging to achieve the precise mixing needed for effective combustion.

Katrine Oberbrunner –
I’ve been working through the Jet Combustion CFD Simulation by ANSYS Fluent Training and found the results concerning pollutants particularly insightful. How does the model ensure that the calculated mass fractions of pollutants are accurate and account for all possible chemical reactions and byproducts?
MR CFD Support –
In the Jet Combustion CFD Simulation, the accuracy of calculated mass fractions of pollutants is ensured by properly defining the combustion chemistry within the Eddy-Dissipation model used in ANSYS Fluent. This model accounts for the turbulent mixing and rate of reaction between species based on detailed chemical kinetics data. It incorporates a comprehensive set of chemical reactions and their rate coefficients to capture all relevant byproducts and intermediate species during combustion. By ensuring that the reactions are defined correctly and that the model settings (such as the mesh fineness and boundary conditions) are well-adjusted, the simulation can realistically predict the production of pollutants. Validation against experimental data, where available, also plays a key role in verifying the accuracy of these predictions.
Leta Runte –
Does the simulation take into account varying pressure conditions due to the combustion process?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the simulation accurately models the pressure variations that occur as a result of the combustion process using the pressure-based solver, ensuring that the impact of the combustion on the pressure field within the computational domain is well-represented in the results.
Zella Erdman –
This tutorial was very easy to follow, and the simulation clearly demonstrated the ethylene-air combustion process. What are the main advantages of using the eddy-dissipation model for combustion over other models?
MR CFD Support –
Happy to hear that you found the tutorial easy to follow! The eddy-dissipation model is particularly advantageous for highly turbulent reacting flows because it accounts for the interaction between turbulence and chemical reactions. This model assumes that the reaction rate is controlled by turbulent mixing and it simplifies the chemistry to a fast-chemistry regime, which often allows for a good compromise between accuracy and computational resource demands. Other models may require more detailed reaction mechanisms or can be more computationally intensive.
