MAE 6430

Computational Combustion

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

Examines laminar and turbulent flames and fundamental chemical and transport processes involved. Emphasis is on using computational tools to calculate flame properties, which are compared to experimental data. Topics include thermodynamic equilibrium, chemical kinetics, reactor studies, conservation equations, transport properties, laminar premixed and non-premixed flames, turbulence modeling, and common approaches to turbulent combustion modeling. A knowledge of combustion at the level of MAE 5430, Combustion Processes, is useful but not required.

When Offered Spring.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: graduate students or permission of instructor.
