将大涡模拟(LES)湍流模型和几种不同的雾化模型纳入KIVA-3V程序中,研究了柴油的喷射和雾化过程。以燃油液相、蒸气相和混合气当量比的试验数据为依据,分别在不同工况下对比了TAB(Taylor Analogy Breakup)、MTAB(Modified TAB Model)、CAB(Cascade Atomization and Drop Breakup)和KH-RT(Kelvin-Helmholtz Rayleigh-Taylor)4种雾化模型在LES模拟中的性能。结果表明KH—RT模型对燃油液相和蒸气相的贯穿距、蒸气区域分布形态的预测方面均与试验接近,好于其它3种雾化模型。TAB模型由于分裂后液滴粒径较小,计算得到的液相贯穿距过小,蒸气相浓度过大。MTAB模型和CAB模型预测得到的液相贯穿距与KH—RT模型相近,但混合气的当量比明显小于试验值。在均采用KH—RT雾化模型下,通过对比RANS和LES的模拟结果发现,RANS模型得到的蒸气贯穿距要明显小于试验值,同时无法预测蒸气区域边界的间歇性、不规律的涡团结构,而LES模型可以很好地捕捉这些特性。
Large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model and several droplet breakup models have been implemented into the KIVA-3V code to investigate the atomization and evaporation processes of diesel spray. Based on the experimental results under different conditions, four breakup models, including Taylor Analogy Breakup (TAB) , Modified TAB (MTAB) , Cascade Atomization and Drop Breakup (CAB) and Kelvin-Helmhohz Rayleigh-Taylor (KH-RT), were compared in terms of liquid and vapor distributions. Results show that KH-RT model gives better performance in prediction of liquid and vapor penetration and shape of vapor distribution than other three models. Liquid penetration is under-estimated and evaporation rate is significantly over-estlmated by TAB model due to the smaller droplet diameter after breakup. Compared to KH-RT model, similar liquid penetration are obtained by MTAB and CAB models, but the equivalence ratio is under-predicted by MTAB and CAB models. When KH-RT model is used, the comparison between Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model and LES model shows that RANS model obviously under-estimates vapor penetration length and hardly predict the intermittency and irregular vortical structure in the spray periphery. However, these features can be well captured by LES model.
