Neural networks (NN) are implemented as sub-grid flame models in a large-eddy simulation of a single-injector liquid-propellant rocket engine. The NN training process presents an extraordinary challenge. The multi-dimensional combustion instability problem involves multi-scale lengths and characteristic times in an unsteady flow problem with nonlinear acoustics, addressing both transient and dynamic-equilibrium behaviors, superimposed on a turbulent reacting flow with very narrow, moving flame regions. Accurate interpolation between the points of the training data becomes vital. The NNs proposed here are trained based on data processed from a few CFD simulations of a single-injector liquid-propellant rocket engine with different dynamical configurations to reproduce the information stored in a flamelet table. The training set is also enriched by data from the physical characteristics and considerations of the combustion model. Flame temperature is used as an extra input for other flame variables to improve the NN-based model accuracy and physical consistency. The trained NNs are first tested offline on the flamelet table. These physics-aware NN-based closure models are successfully implemented into CFD simulations and verified by being tested on various dynamical configurations. The results from those tests compare favorably with counterpart table-based CFD simulations.

The combustion instability is investigated computationally for a multi-injector rocket engine using the flamelet progress variable (FPV) model. A C++ code is developed based on OpenFOAM 4.0 to apply the combustion model. Flamelet tables are generated
for methane/oxygen combustion at the background pressure of $200$ bar using a 12-species chemical mechanism. A power law is determined for rescaling the reaction rate for the progress variable to address the pressure effect. The combustion is also simulated by the one-step-kinetics (OSK) method for comparison with the FPV approach. A study of combustion instability shows that a longitudinal mode of $1500$ Hz and a tangential standing wave of $2500$ Hz are dominant for both approaches. While the amplitude of the longitudinal mode remains almost the same for both approaches, the tangential standing wave achieves a larger amplitude in the FPV simulation. A preliminary study of the resonance in the injectors, which is driven by the longitudinal-mode oscillation in the combustion chamber, is also presented.
The present article investigates the interactions between the pilot and main flames in a novel stratified swirl burner using both experimental and numerical methods. Experiments are conducted in a test rig operating at atmospheric conditions. The sys
tem is equipped with the BASIS (Beihang Axial Swirler Independently-Stratified) burner fuelled with premixed methane-air mixtures. To illustrate the interactions between the pilot and main flames, three operating modes are studied, where the burner works with: (i) only the pilot flame, (ii) only the main flame, and (iii) the stratified flame (with both the pilot and main flames). We found that: (1) In the pilot flame mode, the flame changes from V-shape to M-shape when the main stage is switched from closed to supplying a pure air stream. Strong oscillations in the M-shape flame are found due to the dilution of the main air to the pilot methane flame. (2) In the main flame mode, the main flame is lifted off from the burner if the pilot stage is supplied with air. The temperature of the primary recirculation zone drops substantially and the unsteady heat release is intensified. (3) In the stratified flame mode, unique beating oscillations exhibiting dual closely-spaced frequencies in the pressure spectrum. is found. This is observed within over narrow window of equivalence ratio combinations between the pilot and main stages. Detailed analysis of the experimental data shows that flame dynamics and thermoacoustic couplings at these two frequencies are similar to those of the unstable pilot flame and the attached main flame cases, respectively. Large Eddy Simulations (LESs) are carried out with OpenFOAM to understand the mechanisms of the time averaged flame shapes in different operating modes. Finally, a simple acoustic analysis is proposed to understand the acoustic mode nature of the beating oscillations.
Faraday waves are generated at the air/liquid interface inside an array of square cells. As the free surface inside each cell is destabilizing due to the oscillations, the shape of the free surface is drastically changing. Depending on the value of t
he frequency f of oscillations, different patterns are observed inside each cell. For well defined f values, neighboring cells are observed to interact and a general organization is noticed. In such a situation, initially disordered structures lead to a general pattern covering the entire liquid pool and a spatial order appears all over the cell array. This abstract is related to a fluid dynamics video for the gallery of fluid motion 2009.
We propose a discretization-free approach based on the physics-informed neural network (PINN) method for solving coupled advection-dispersion and Darcy flow equations with space-dependent hydraulic conductivity. In this approach, the hydraulic conduc
tivity, hydraulic head, and concentration fields are approximated with deep neural networks (DNNs). We assume that the conductivity field is given by its values on a grid, and we use these values to train the conductivity DNN. The head and concentration DNNs are trained by minimizing the residuals of the flow equation and ADE and using the initial and boundary conditions as additional constraints. The PINN method is applied to one- and two-dimensional forward advection-dispersion equations (ADEs), where its performance for various P{e}clet numbers ($Pe$) is compared with the analytical and numerical solutions. We find that the PINN method is accurate with errors of less than 1% and outperforms some conventional discretization-based methods for $Pe$ larger than 100. Next, we demonstrate that the PINN method remains accurate for the backward ADEs, with the relative errors in most cases staying under 5% compared to the reference concentration field. Finally, we show that when available, the concentration measurements can be easily incorporated in the PINN method and significantly improve (by more than 50% in the considered cases) the accuracy of the PINN solution of the backward ADE.
Buoyant shear layers are encountered in many engineering and environmental applications and have been studied by researchers in the context of experiments and modeling for decades. Often, these flows have high Reynolds and Richardson numbers, and thi
s leads to significant/intractable space-time resolution requirements for DNS or LES modeling. On the other hand, many of the important physical mechanisms in these systems, such as stress anisotropy, wake stabilization, and regime transition, inherently render eddy viscosity-based RANS modeling inappropriate. Accordingly, we pursue second-moment closure (SMC), i.e., full Reynolds stress/flux/variance modeling, for moderate Reynolds number non-stratified and stratified shear layers for which DNS is possible. A range of sub-model complexity is pursued for the diffusion of stresses, density fluxes and variance, pressure strain and scrambling, and dissipation. These sub-models are evaluated in terms of how well they are represented by DNS in comparison to the exact Reynolds averaged terms, and how well they impact the accuracy of the full RANS closure. For the non-stratified case, the SMC model predicts the shear layer growth rate and Reynolds shear stress profiles accurately. Stress anisotropy and budgets are captured only qualitatively. Comparing DNS of exact and modeled terms, inconsistencies in model performance and assumptions are observed, including inaccurate prediction of individual statistics, non-negligible pressure diffusion, and dissipation anisotropy. For the stratified case, shear layer and gradient Richardson number growth rates, and stress, flux, and variance decay rates, are captured with less accuracy than corresponding flow parameters in the non-stratified case. These studies lead to several recommendations for model improvement.
