CH₄/Air premixed combustion within a two-layer porous medium burner is numerically simulated in a laminar combustion model.Heat exchanges with radiation in the solid and with convection between the gas and the solid are considered.A detailed reaction mechanism GRI 3.0 is used and a dispersion formula is added to the equations.The stabilization of the flame and the emission output are investigated.The results are compared with those of a one-layer burner.It is concluded that a two-layer burner has wider flux range in stabilizing the flame nearby the two-layer porous medium interface.

A consistent hybrid FV/MC algorithm developed on triangular unstructured meshes is implemented to simulate turbulent diffusion flame stabilized on bluff body. Monte Carlo method is used to solve joint fluctuating velocity-frequency-composition PDF equation, while Reynolds averaged mass, momentum and energy equations are solved by finite volume method. The coupling between the two methods reduces the statistical and bias error of stand-alone particle method, so accuracy and efficiency are improved greatly. Laminar flamelet model is incorporated. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data.
