HYCOMBS Project is looking for a Research Fellow : Experimental study of turbulent-combustion interaction for premixed flames of various NH3/H2/CH4/air blends (HYCOMBS Project)

HYCOMBS PROJECT

HYCOMBS: Hydrogen and Ammonia Combustion in Singapore

In the future, Singapore may be importing renewable energy in the form of hydrogen (H2) or ammonia (NH3). These zero-carbon fuels will require the development of new gas turbines (GTs) and internal combustion engines (ICE) used in power generation, aviation, and maritime propulsion.

This project focuses on the combustion fundamentals of hydrogen, ammonia, their blends, and their blends with hydrocarbon fuels. The knowledge acquired in HYCOMBS will enable the penetration of zero-carbon fuels in the Singapore energy system and this will benefit Singaporean industries and residents.

Read more about the HYCOMBS project here.

DESCRIPTION

In the WP2 of HYCOMBS project, the objective is to improve the knowledge and understanding of flames with non-conventional fuels to improve CFD model. Turbulent-combustion interaction for NH3/air, NH3/CH4/air, NH3/H2/air mixtures remains not well understood and few data are currently available [1-3].

The objective of this post-doc position is to provide accurate experimental data base highly resolved in space and time to study the fundamental of combustion using various NH3, H2 and CH4 blends and to help CFD model development. These tests will be conducted in a spherical combustion chamber with isotropic and homogeneous turbulence at different initial thermodynamics conditions, i.e. temperature and pressure with different types of mixture [4]. In a first part several optical diagnostics will be implemented and evaluated in order to deeply study flame propagation and flame/turbulence interactions such as: PIV, 3D Mie-Scattering tomography as in [5], OH* PLIF, etc. Main part of the work will consist of the data analysis to characterize the interaction. The database will be done and discussed with the others partners of fundamental combustion tasks, and especially CARES team.
