Parametric Sensitivity Analysis of Shape and Orientation Factors in Premixed Turbulent Flames

Understanding flame behavior through precise modeling is essential
for advancing combustion research and enhancing safety in various applications.
This study employs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations
with the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach to investigate turbulent
combustion in methane flames. This work focuses on conducting a parametric
sensitivity analysis of key factors within the Bray-Moss-Libby (BML)
combustion framework, namely the shape and orientation parameters. Through
systematic numerical experiments, the impact of variations in these parameters
on flame propagation and overpressure generation is analyzed. By independently
varying the shape and orientation factors, the study aims to elucidate their influence
on methane flame dynamics and associated safety hazards.
