The process of combustion is highly
complex, because it usually involves
turbulent mixing, heat transfer,
radiation and chemistry. The fact
that the combustion involves very
different processes makes it not
only a highly multidisciplinary
topic for research, but also a highly
challenging one. The aim of this
work is to prove, based on the Faedo-Galerkin
method, the existence of solutions
for the Eulerian flamelet model
equations and to obtain numerical
results, via Large-Eddy Simulation
(LES), for a piloted jet diffusion
flame. The proof of the existence
of solutions follow the Faedo-Galerkin
method, which is frequently employed
to proof the existence of solutions
for evolution equations. For the
simulation of combustion flows the
LES technique seem to be good alternative,
because combustion flows involve
a large range of time and length
scales that are originated from
the heat release due to chemical
reactions, which induce strong convective,
diffusive and radiative heat transfer.
The governing equations were integrated
using the explicit Runge-Kutta multistage
scheme and numerical tests were
carried out for Sandia Flame D.
The results are in agreement with
datafound in the literature.
