Abstract

A detailed numerical simulation of a cold flow without spray injection of Marchoine et al. (2009) configuration are carried out. The introduced swirling air were simulated with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS). Focus is put on the turbulent kinetic energy level on the spark location. Simulations results are plotted against experimental data.
