Grants and Contributions

Additional Information:

Grant or Award spanning more than one fiscal year (2017-2018 to 2018-2019).

Recipient's Legal Name:

Bushe, W. Kendal (The University of British Columbia)

Program:

Engage Plus Grants for Universities

Program Purpose:

With the progress achieved thus far in the framework of the Engage Project, the research group under Dr.x000D
Bushe has provided expertise to drive further improvements in combustion simulation of swirl-stabilizedx000D
burners. For the first time the innovative alternative methodology, Conditional Source-term Estimation (CSE)x000D
combustion model was applied to a swirl-stabilized burner to predict the flow field and temperaturex000D
distribution using a simplified 2-step chemistry. The extention of the project via Engage Plus will allow for ax000D
more detailed investigation of the chosen test case and an attempt to improve the results by incorporating morex000D
complex chemistry. Such a development will provide a validation for the significant advantages CSE has tox000D
offer compared to the commonly used methods such as PDF transport methods and Laminar Flamelet models.x000D
This approach will help provide a tool which can be used for applications in industry without the need for ax000D
supercomputer. This Engage Plus Grant will provide a perfect opportunity to strengthen the foundation for ax000D
potential long-term cooperation and further validate the ability and capability of the UBC research team tox000D
perform the work that is desired by MTU - ultimately leading to a Collaborative Research and Developmentx000D
Grant application.
