Original abstract

Two baseline approaches are available for prediction of nitrogen oxides emissions. The first one is based on empirical and semiempirical models based exclusively on measurements. The second approach consist in comprehensive CFD modelling complemented by a NOx model. This contribution presents predictions of NOx emissions by both of these approaches and thus provides a comparison that indicates their respective advantages and drawbacks as well as evaluation of predictive power of the two approaches. The present semiempirical model is based on calculation of an equivalent effective temperature and has already been validated successfully. Here it was further developed to use information available from the CFD modelling in order to find out whether such information could improve the predictive accuracy of the semi-empirical model. These predictions are compared to the results of full CFD based NOx modelling using commercial software FLUENT and to the measured data.

Czech abstract

Pro predikce emisí oxidů dusíku jsou k dispozici dva základní přístupy. Ten první je založen na empirickém či semiempirickém modelování jejich tvorby. Druhý přístup spočívá v komplexním CFD modelování, doplněném o model tvorby NOx. Tento příspěvek představuje predikce emisí oxidů dusíku založené na obou těchto přístupech a poskytuje srovnání, které ukazuje na jejich výhody a nedostatky, a také jejich prediktivní schopnosti. Předkládaný semi-empirický model je založený na výpočtu ekvivalentní teploty a již byl úspěšně ověřen. Zde je dále rozvinut, takže je schopen využívat některé informace dostupné ze CFD výpočtu, o kterých je možné se domnívat, že by mohly vést ke zlepšení prediktivní přesnosti semi-empirického modelu. Tyto predikce jsou porovnány s výsledky modelu, který plně vychází z CFD výpočtu, a také s naměřenými daty.
