Times Cited Count：4 Percentile：29.17(Thermodynamics)Effects of pressure and heat loss on the unstable motion of cellular-flame fronts in hydrogen-air lean premixed flames were numerically investigated. The reaction mechanism for hydrogen-oxygen combustion was modeled with seventeen reversible reactions of eight reactive species and a diluent. Two-dimensional unsteady reactive flow was treated, and the compressibility, viscosity, heat conduction, molecular diffusion and heat loss were taken into account. As the pressure became higher, the maximum growth rate increased and the unstable range widened. These were due mainly to the decrease of flame thickness. The burning velocity of a cellular flame normalized by that of a planar flame increased as the pressure became higher and the heat loss became larger. This indicated that the pressure and heat loss affected strongly the unstable motion of cellular-flame fronts. In addition, the fractal dimension became larger, which denoted that the flame shape became more complicated.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Thermodynamics)Two dimensional unsteady calculations of reactive flows were performed in large domain to investigate the unstable behaviors of cellular premixed flames at low Lewis numbers based on the diffusive-thermal (D-T) model and compressible Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The growth rates obtained by the compressible N-S equations were large and the unstable ranges were wide compared with those obtained by the D-T model equations. When the length of computational domain increased, the number of small cells separated from large cells of the cellular flame increased drastically. The stronger unstable behaviors and the larger average burning velocities were observed especially in the numerical results based on the compressible N-S equations. In addition, the fractal dimension obtained by the compressible N-S equations was larger than that by the D-T model equations. Moreover, we confirmed that the radiative heat loss promoted the instability of premixed flames at low Lewis numbers.

A new methodology has been developed to make the reliable estimation of statistical errors in Monte Carlo criticality calculation (MCCC). The methodology developed is directly based on the convergence process in the functional central limit theorem and is shown to perform well in the evaluation of reactor power distribution. The theoretical backbones are described within the general context as framed in the operations research. The requisite basics of statistics are reviewed in terms of output analysis in MCCC. Numerical results are presented for the initial core model of a 1200 MWe pressurized water reactor. Preliminary results of fractal dimension analysis are shown to discuss a potential for convergence assessment.
