This one-day course builds on the topics covered in the General Flow Modeling in CONVERGE course and will focus on applying CONVERGE to gas turbine combustion and combustor analysis.
During this course, you will have plenty of time for hands-on practice in CONVERGE Studio. You will start by working on simple gas turbine geometries, and move to geometries that are more complex.
Upon the completion of this course, you will know how to:
Import a surface geometry from a CAD program or create a gas turbine combustor geometry from scratch
Repair surface defects in gas turbine combustor geometries
Set up liquid and gaseous fuels for gas turbine simulations
Set up the SAGE detailed chemistry solver, Thickened Flame model, and Flamelet Generated Manifold model
Generate wall temperature predictions via conjugate heat transfer modeling
Set up transient RANS and LES simulations and steady-state simulations for both reacting and non-reacting cases
Understand combustor flow splits, gas turbine ignition at high altitude, lean blow-off, extinction, and flashback
Analyze emissions data for NOx, CO, and soot
PREREQUISITES
General Flow Modeling in CONVERGE
WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS COURSE
This course is intended for those who are new to modeling gas flow or continuous flow combustion in CONVERGE and CONVERGE Studio. This course can also be used as a refresher for experienced or occasional users of previous versions of CONVERGE and CONVERGE Studio.
