Journal ArticleDOI

Application of two buoyancy-modified k–ε turbulence models to different types of buoyant plumes

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of buoyancy on turbulence is investigated for fire-driven flows and a realizable k-e model with modifications based on the generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

CFD simulations of steam cracking furnaces using detailed combustion mechanisms

TL;DR: It is suggested that more sophisticated turbulence–chemistry interaction models like the EDC model and more Detailed Reaction Kinetics should be used for combustion modeling in steam cracking furnaces under normal firing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of radiation models in CFD simulations of steam cracking furnaces

TL;DR: The effect is discussed of the use of different radiation models on the predicted wall, tube skin and flue gas temperature profiles and heat fluxes towards the reactor tubes, as well as on the expected species concentration profiles and structure of the furnace flames under normal firing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Verification of the accuracy of CFD simulations in small-scale tunnel and atrium fire configurations

TL;DR: In this paper, the agreement between experimental data and CFD simulation results is discussed for two different small-scale set-ups, and the global accuracy is discussed with current numerical implementation and models in FDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of RANS and LES field simulations to predict the critical ventilation velocity in longitudinally ventilated horizontal tunnels

TL;DR: In this article, both the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) approaches are applied to model turbulence.
