Abstract

The data provided allows other research groups to numerically investigate the flame wall interactions of an experimental test bench at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. Numerical simulations can then be compared to the experimental results to test new models. Three data sets are available. The first data set contains the inflow boundary conditions created by the burner into the test section. The fields of interest are the velocity and RMS-velocity fields. Large-Eddy-Simulation (LES) using ANSYS Fluent was used to collect this data. The second data set provides the inflow boundary condition from the fuel injector into the test section using methane at a momentum ratio of I = 10. LES using OpenFOAM was used to create this data. The third data set provides the temperature distribution at the wall of the test section when injecting methane at a momentum ratio of I = 10. The temperature is provided along the wall ranging from +/- 25 mm in the lateral and 0 - 220 mm in the axial direction. The data was derived from wall-embedded thermocouples by applying the inverse heat conduction method using MATLAB and COMSOL.
