The objective of this work is to develop a machine learning methodology that can account for fuel blends in thermochemistry. The methodology uses artificial neural networks to predict the composition space encountered in turbulent flame simulations. It is applicable to various combustion modeling approaches and has the capability for generalization. The results show excellent agreement between the artificial neural network simulations and direct integration, indicating its potential for reducing computational costs in turbulent combustion simulations.
The objective of the present work is to develop a machine learning tabulation methodology for thermochemistry that accounts for fuel blends. The approach is based on the hybrid flamelet/random data and multiple multilayer perceptrons (HFRD-MMLP) methodology (Ding et al., 2021), the essence of which is to train a set of artificial neural networks (ANNs) using random data so as to anticipate the composition space encountered in turbulent flame simulations. As such, it is applicable to any combustion modelling approach that involves direct coupling of chemistry and flow, such as transported probability density function (PDF) methods, direct numerical simulation (DNS), conditional moment closure (CMC), unsteady flamelet, multiple mapping closure (MMC), thickened flame model, linear eddy model (LEM), partially stirred reactor (PaSR) as in OpenFOAM and laminar flame computation. In this paper, the HFRD approach is further developed to generate data of varying fuel ratios. Furthermore, radiative heat losses are included and it is shown that the ANN-based simulations are able to account for it. The ANNs generated are first tested on 1-D laminar flame simulations and then applied to two turbulent flames with different fuel compositions: a pure methane flame, Sandia flame D, and Sydney flame HM1, which is a methane/hydrogen flame. The results of species mass fraction and temperature are compared between ANN and direct integration, and excellent agreement are achieved. These results indicate that the methodology has great capacity for generalisation and is applicable to a range of blended fuels. Furthermore, a speed-up ratio of 14 to 17 is attained for the reaction step compared with direct integration, which greatly reduces the computational cost of turbulent combustion simulations.
