  4. Naples Heppenheim Boulder Darmstadt Delft Sapporo Chicago Heidelberg 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2002 2004 2006 TNF Workshop – Basics • Genesis (early 1990’s) • Incomplete experiments, poorly defined comparisons with computations • Internet offered opportunity for rapid communication, collaboration, data sharing • TNF1 in Naples (1996) established the ground rules • Collaboration of experimental and computational researchers • Core groups: Sandia, Berkeley, Cornell, TU Darmstadt, Imperial College, U Sydney • Framework for detailed comparisons of measured and modeled results • Identify gaps in data and models, define research priorities • Emphasis on fundamental issues of turbulence-chemistry interaction • Nonpremixed and partially premixed flames of simple fuels (H2, CO, CH4) • Progression in complexity of flow field and kinetics • Public (web-based) availability of data sets and comparisons • Primary basis (so far)  point statistics from Raman/Rayleigh/LIF and LDV

  5. TNF Workshop – Themes • “We emphasize that this is not a competition, but rather a means of identifying areas for potential improvements in a variety of modeling approaches.” • “This collaborative process benefits from contributions by participants having different areas of expertise, including velocity measurements, scalar measurements, turbulence modeling, chemical kinetics, reduced mechanisms, mixing models, radiation, and combustion theory.” • TNF8 Organizing Committee • R.S. Barlow, R.W. Bilger, J.-Y. Chen, A. Dreizler, J. Janicka, R.P. Lindstedt, A.R. Masri, J.C. Oefelein, H. Pitsch, S.B. Pope, D. Roekaerts, and L. Vervisch.

  7. TNF Workshop – Current Mode of Operation • People • 1 main organizer • a few (~6) active members of the organizing committee • loose ongoing scientific collaborations (roughly 20-30 people in “clumps”) • ~ 80 participants at each workshop (every 2 years) • Budget • no targeted funding for TNF Workshop activities • Sandia (DOE/BES) pays for some admin. support • TU Darmstadt has also contributed admin. support (SFB 568) • Sponsorship used to reduce registration fees for faculty & students • Web Contents: (http://www.ca.sandia.gov/TNF) • very simple site • data sets (compressed ascii files) and submodels (chem, mixing, radiation) • proceedings (PDF) • bibliography • total < 1GB (only point data; no 1D, 2D, 3D; no simulation data)

  8. TNF Workshop – Web Issues ?

  11. Current Status on Piloted Flames • Thorough parametric studies of model sensitivity in RANS/PDF • Pope’s group at Cornell • Combinations of different mixing models and mechanisms • 100’s of pages of figures as “supplemental material” • Ten years to really understand the details for set of 3 flames • Other RANS approaches still trying to get extinction right • Only one LES/FDF of flame E (w/ extinction) by V. Raman

  14. TNF Workshop – Successes • improved quality and availability of experimental data for “simple” flames • higher “standards” for combustion model validation • better understanding of model capabilities and experimental uncertainty • a few very productive collaborations • collaboration & rapid feedback  accelerated progress for same $$ • impact (journal references, use by industry), high visibility • 11/20 nonpremixed modeling papers in PCI 30-31 used TNF data

  15. TNF Workshop – Failures • still very few “appropriate, complete” data sets • comparisons limited to easiest quantities (point statistics) • little information from calculations has been preserved • funding for collaborative experimental work in the US is very limited • currently no model for growth of TNF Workshop beyond “cottage industry” (larger data sets, more complete comparisons, …) • web content editor is way behind!

  16. TNF Workshop – Future Directions and Challenges • Larger experimental data sets • beyond single point statistics • imaging data (PIV, stereo PIV, 2-D and 3-D imaging data) • time domain (high-speed imaging, multi-frame, time series…) • more complex flames (fuel and flow geometry) • Larger simulation data sets • highly-resolved LES of lab-scale flames • basis for comparison?? – lots of work to do here • feature extraction, vis, etc. • Connections to other areas • premixed, soot, pressure effects, multi-phase • educational possibilities • more formal “publication” of results • comparison “engine”

  29. What might Cyber Infrastructure do for TNF Workshop • Collection, packaging, and distribution of large data sets: • Experiments and high-fidelity simulation • Reduce labor by standardizing(?) and automating the upload process • Allow for archiving of model results in digital form • Include functionality to interactively view (plot) data in various ways • Promote formation of more collaborative groups • Pay for people to build/maintain custom tools for data archiving/analysis • Infrastructure is not (currently) the bottle neck for progress in TNF • Interagency collaboration to promote research on targeted problems could be very useful
