Every industrial combustion simulation model has to be tested against standard experimental data. This work presents a comparison between calculated and
experimental data of a lean premixed combustion
flow with the aim of validating the Turbulent Flame Closure combustion model. The experimental results,
relative to the
fluid-mechanics and chemical characterization of a Dry Low NOx
natural gas premixed burner working at atmospheric pressure designed by Nuovo
Pignone, were carried out by ENEA. The study regards also thermal and chemical
in-flame measures, to have a complete knowledge of the combustion phenomenon.
The simulation has been performed by using TANIT, a FORTRAN code suitable for simulating combustion flows for gas turbines applications.
