Research direction

Carry out tasks such as industrial kiln simulation and heat balance calculation, and study zero-carbon combustion technology for high-temperature industrial kilns, including high-fidelity simulation of swirling flames, heat transfer characteristics of zero-carbon flames in industrial kilns, and matching between zero-carbon combustion and industrial high-temperature process process requirements.

Major computing platforms

High-performance multi-core computing cluster (AMD EPYC9654, total 1152 cores, 4608 G of memory), several high-performance computing workstations (Intel 8375C, 64 cores, 128 threads, 256 G of memory).

Software and code

The computational framework features three core components: the ASURF code—a one-dimensional compressible two-phase combustion solver based on adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technology; a high-precision turbulent combustion simulation system employing structured numerical algorithms for both direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES); and the RYrhoCentralFoam solver, an enhanced compressible LES combustion tool developed through secondary development of the open-source OpenFOAM platform. Additionally, the platform integrates widely recognized combustion simulation packages including OPPDIF, LaminarSMOKE, FlameMaster, and Cantera, along with open-source post-processing modules for advanced diagnostics such as Chemical Explosive Mode Analysis (CEMA) and Budget Analysis, enabling comprehensive combustion system characterization.
