1. TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The final program of the Workshop and list of participants is attached.Xerox copies of most presentations are available and were distributed toregistered participants, In this final report, summarizing statements andbasic discussions on specific topics are treated. References are mainly madeto papers presented at this Workshop, but other papers from the openliterature are mentioned when necessary.

2. BACKGROUND OF WORKSHOP

Combustion problems offer exce:jent opportunities to develop bothanalytic tools and numerical methods. But too often the two worlds interactonly superficially. Mathematicians do not regard working on the needs fromreal world as professionally rewarding, while computer practitioners andengineers consider possible contributions from mathematicians too abstract,if not just useless. Both judgments are biased and this does not lead toproductive interactions.

3. OBJECTIVES OF WORKS HOP

The overall objective of the Workshop was to try to improvecommunications and promote cross-fertilizations between appliedmathematicians and computational scientists, by pointing out promisingdirections as well as effective means of interaction. Specific objectives of theWorkshop were to critically compare analytic to numerical approaches,assess potentials and limitations of both, and hopefully foster newdevelopments in combustion. To this end, a proper mix of formal lectures,specialized presentations, informal discussions, and constructivecross-criticism was implemented.

5. DISCUSSION PANEL

This Final Technical Report has been edited by the main investigatorbased on written inputs received by all co-authors and on discussions, heldafter the Workshop, mainly with Dr. E.S. Oran (Naval Research Laboratory,Washington, USA), Prof. M.Q. Brewster (Illinois University atUrbana-Champaign, USA), Prof. Novozhilov (Russian Academy of Sciences,Moscow, Russia), Prof. M.Kh. Strelets (State Institute of AppliedChemistry, Saint Petersburg, Russia), and Prof. V.E. Zarko (RussianAcademy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia).

6. SYNERGISM BETWEEN ANALYTIC AND NUMERICAL METHODS

In principle, analytic methods are applied at the initial stages ofinvestigations of combustion problems. Further investigations to determinedetails of solutions are often performed by numerical methods. Thus,synergism between analytic and numerical methods plays an important rolein combustion and sciences in general. However, problems ofcommunications and mental attitude exist between the combustiontheoreticians using analytic and numerical approaches. From the point ofview of numerical scientists, a notable resistance was felt from traditionalscientists to accept computer simulation as a tool for studying combustion.Historically, this is understandable since combustion is a relatively olddiscipline, in contrast for example with plasma physics which grew up withcomputers. While in the US this resistance has been slowly disappearingduring last few years, in other countries traditional approaches still prevail.

Ir any event, real problems are too difficult for all combustion scientistsand thus they should be strongly encouraged to use all weapons availablefrom their arsenal to attack a given problem. Computational tools should bewell integrated with analytic tools. Both methods seek approximations tothe full solution, since explicit and exact solutions are only rarely available.Both methods provide different yet useful sorts of information toformulations of the problem less complex than the full problem. Numericalmethods require a computational grid but provide complete knowledge abouta discrete set of points, while analytic methods involve limiting cases orcritical values of a parameter but provide parameter dependence. Synergismbetween the two approaches allows scientists to get more than just the sumof the two individual parts, and this is felt to be a key factor for futureperspectives in sciences and engineering.

Papers properly exploiting the potential of this synergism were presentedat the Workshop by Matkowsky on gasless combustion, Merzhanov on avariety of combustion problems ranging from thermal explosions to burningof heterogeneous systems, De Luca on solid propellant combustion, Oran onseveral reactive fluid dynamics problems, and others.

Oran specifically emphasized the need and advantages of synergism.These are probably better appreciated with reference to the following generaldiagram recalled by Novozhilov:

* data a model eqns a data analysis* implementation * interpretation* computer

where the * indicates the only point where there is no strong interactionbetween analytic and numerical approaches. But, in fact, the separationbetween the two approaches is not always so clear; most theoretical solutionsend up with equations that cannot be solved in closed form and thus someform of numerical solution is required.

As an example, consider the case of the imploding detonation describedby Oran at the meeting. The simulation solved the time--dependent,compressible equations for density, momentum, and energy coupled to somerepresentation of chemical reactions and heat release. The result was acomplete description of these quantities as a function of position and time.The analytic approach reduced the equation set to a one-dimensionalequation for Mach number or perturbation amplitude as a function of radius.The solutions are first- or second-order ordinary differential equations.Unless fairly drastic approximations are made, these equations must besolved numerically (and solutions are not straightforward to obtain becauseof singularities in the solutions). Both approaches require numericalmethods, but differ in the level of approximation of the model equations andthe methods of solution of the resulting model.

There are a number of obvious and not so obvious ways that the analyticand simulation methods can be used together to attack a problem. The firstarea is in the field of numerical analysis, which can be be used to eitherderive a numerical algorithm or to explain when and why a technique works.Although this was not a topic of the present Workshop, it is a major area ofresearch throughout the world. More and more journals and books exist forthis sort of exposition (e.g., Journal of Computational Physics). This area iswithin the province of the computational scientist.

Another area of interaction is that of using analytic methods to improvenurnerical methods. This was mentioned by several speakers, butparticularly emphasized by Matkowsky and Oran. Some examples ofsynergism include: how to optimize computational points, how to optimizenumerical time steps, or even how to incorporate a Riemann solution into asolution of the coupled compressible continuity equation. This area is withinthe province of the computational scientist.

A third area of interaction concerns the use of an analytic solution as abenchmark, validation or a starting point for a simulation. This is perhapsthe starting place for synergism between the computational scientist andtraditional analyst. Such an interaction usually teaches everyone something:the computational scientist learns to use the computer program and theanalyst learns more about the limits of validity of the theory.

Probably a less common idea, although one that is growing inrecognition of what it can do, is to use a result from a simulation as astarting point for analysis of a system. In this sense, the simulation eitherproauces a new phenomenon which may be further explained or whoseexistence can be justified by analysis or produces a data set that can beanalyzed, much :ike an experiment. An example of the former is theunreacted pockets of material cut off by the interaction of transverse wavesbehind propagating detonations (see presentation by Oran). An example ofthe latter would be to use a computationally generated data set from acalculation of a mixing layer to look for attractors, chaos, or long-termmixing trends. An advantage here is that the computational data isrelatively clean with conditions that are more controlled than what anexperiment can produce.

With specific respect to this classical issue of analysis vs computation,Matkowsky remarked in the closure session of the Workshop that the enemyof computation is not analysis, and the enemy of analysis is not computation,but rather the enemy of Loth is the problem. Oran proposed to modifysomewhat this statement: the problem is the challenge of both camps, andthe enemy is our own limitation and mental rigidity. With these thoughts inmind, cooperation is worthwhile and stimulating for practitioners of bothmathematical approaches; in combustion often synergism is already anaccepted reality (see next sectioli).

7. NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS IN COMBUSTION

Nine lectures were devoted to both the development of new numericalapproaches and their application to combustion processes simulation. Whenanalyzing the topics and contents of these lectures, two distinct featuresemerge, as revelead by the plenary lecture on "Limitations and Potentials ofNumerical Methods for Simulating Combustion" given by Oran.

The first striking feature concerns the synergism, very promising andalready progressing in combustion, between analytic and numericalapproaches. This was the unifying theme of the Workshop and is discussedin Section 6.

The second striking feature concerns the fast increase of both computercapabilities and efficiency of numerical methods, an observation made inseveral presentations. This provides new qualitative possibilities to scientificand industrial users, permitting then to solve complicated, "real life"combustion problems involving multistage chemical kinetics, multi-dimensional fluid dynamics, and their interaction. Examples of suchcomputations were given by Oran; Shur; De Michele, Pasini, and Tozzi; andHeiser.

New efficient numerical algorithms for simulation of combustion anddetonation processes were presented by Di Blasi; Nekhamkina and Strelets,and Valorani and Di Giacinto. An original idea to describe chemical sourceterms in finite-difference schemes was presented by Continillo and Baruffo.

8. NUMERICAL LIMITATIONS

Consider the question of limitations of computational methods. Thecurrent limits are dictated by the: 1) computer speed and available memory,2) algorithm efficiency, and 3) input data. In everything we do there aretradeoffs and balances. Concerning numerical limitations, the particulartradeoffs and balances depend very much on the problem being addressed.

Consider first the issue of computer speed and memory. The limits noware gigaflops and gigabytes, respectively, and this is increasing dramaticallyto the point where teraflops computers are expected in the next few years.Important conceptual breakthroughs that will allow this are parallelprocessing with distributed memories. Such computers make possible thedirect numerical simulation of turbulent reacting flows, albeit in rathersimplified geometries, or transient flows over complete airplanes. Eventhough not everyone has such computers available, the raw computationalpower generally attainable on a desktop is also exponentially increasing.

.Algorithmic efficiency involves tradeoffs between such qualities asaccuracy, speed, and robustness. This is very problem dependent and thebalances can change quickly. What is optional for today's computers is notnecessarily optimal for tomorrow.

Input data can always be a problem. Often it is not available in theform we need in a computation or we do not know the values in the rightparameter regime. In such cases, we can use theoretical values, extrapolateexperimental values, or simply guess and use the computation to determinereasonable ranges of values. This area requires constant interaction withexperiments or more fundamental theories.

Finally, Oran draws the attention on a forefront area in numericalsimulation, and that is the problem of treating complex geometries withmoving bodies. The dream is to have simple, rectilinear structural grids withsimple, vectorizable and parallelizable algorithms, that can accurately treat aproblem as difficult as a manta ray moving through water (flexible body).

Unstructured, triangular or tetrahedral grids perhaps have optimalflexibility but are not easy to use or well suited to parallel computing.Hexahedral block-structured grids allow only moderately complexgeometries but intrinsically have problems at corners and with distortions.Ne v developments in globally structured rectilinear grids have the promise ofbeing the most accurate and most suitable to parallel computations.However, they represent a back-step to less complexity that is often hard toaccept, and they require some further development.

In summary and with respect to the limits of computation, these varyfrom problem type to problem type. However, over the last five years, theincrease in scientific abilities to simulate flames, detonations, and reactingturbulent flows is enormous and has every promise of continuing to increasein such a dramatic fashion. This growth is accomplished by combiningadvances from many fields, ranging from experimental determination ofinput data (e.g., chemical rates) to advances in numerical algorithms, toadvances in computers, and to advances in diagnostics (e.g., visualization).

9. SOLID PROPELLANT COMBUSTION

The following is an extract of the Final Technical Report (De Luca etal., 1990) on a previous Workshop held in Milan, Italy, 12-14 Nov 90, whichwas a convenient starting point for this specific theme at this Workshop.

"The most fully developed and utilized mathematical models employ aone-dimensional approximation that is rigorously applicable only topropellants that are homogeneous and burn with geometrically stable planarsurfaces. It is also widely assumed that the dynamic response of the gasphase is quasi--steady. Within these assumptions, there are two independentapproaches to analysis referred to here as the Zeldovich-Novozhilov (ZN)and the Flame Modeling (FM) approaches.

For quasi-steady gas phase, the basic assumptions and results of theapproaches are the same. In principle, ZN is quicker while FM, being morecomplex, is also more informative. However, for fully transient burning, thegas phase has to be explicitly taken into account and, therefore, only FM canbe implemented ...

The specific set of assumptions mentioned above is collectively referredto as the QSHOD assumptions. See Novozhilov, 1992 and Price, 1992 for acomplete discussion on respectively ZN approach and QSHOD assumptions.

9.1 Nonlinear Modeling as an Example of SynergismSeveral research groups developed nonlinear models (along numerical and

sometimes analytic guidelines) of unsteady solid propellant combustion undera variety of assumptions, but primarily the QSHOD assumptions. TheItalian group has focussed on the FM approach and its connections with ZN,while the US and Russian groups have thus far used the ZN approach. Someextension to consider in-depth (distributed) condensed phase reactions hasalso been reported.

Within the QSHOD framework, the Italian group performed a completeanalysis of transient burning and combustion stability by properly combininganalytic and numerical methods. The stability analysis requires thesteady-state temperature profile corresponding to a given set of operatingconditions to be explicitly known (static or uncoupled stability); in the caseof a forced transition between two different sets of operating conditions, boththe initial and final steady-state temperature profiles need to be explicitlyknown (dynamic or transitional or coupled stability). A first application ofsynergism lies right here: analytic methods conveniently provide steadythermal profiles only for the simplest configurations (for example,temperature - independent thermophysical properties), while numericalmethods in principle can furnish any kind of thermal profile. It can be notedin this respect that the wanted steady thermal profile can also be obtained byexperimental means and then mathematically described by any convenientapproach. This stresses the possibility, and convenience, of a "full"synergism among analytic, numerical, and experimental techniques at leastat this point of the whole procedure.

An integral analytic technique is then applied to the steady thermalprofiles obtained either analytically or numerically. This technique impliesthe etvdidation of a disturbancc tLhc:mal layer thickness propagating in timeand of the temperature just at the edge of this layer. Another form ofsynergism can be seen here: either analytic or numerical methods are appliedaccording to the kind of steady thermal profile. An analytically definedfunction, called static restoring function, is then evaluated mainly bynumerical means but resorting to analytic means when singularities are met.From this function, bifurcation diagiains are ub.aincd fL: a w. •e range ofoperating conditions and for real world solid propellants. By cross-plottingbifurcation diagrams, stability diagrams are found for the wanted propellantand set of operating conditions.

The final results of this nonlinear transient burning and stability analysiscan be checked by analytic techniques (mainly for uncoupled stabilityproblems), numerical techniques (mainly for coupled stability problems),experimental techniques, or any combination of them. The point here is thata synergistic approach yields richer results and allows information to flowfrom one domain to another, thus permitting a constructive interaction andcontinuous improvement. Likewise, validation of a synergistic approachallows different techniques to be implemented, compared, and improved. Itis underlined that the above analysis could not be carried out for any realisticapplication without a numerical support, and viceversa the numerical sidewould only be simulative without the analytic support.

Representative results reported at the Workshop (see the presentation byPagani, Verri, and Salsa and that by De Luca) include "isolas" of stability,several bifurcation phenomena, existence and multiplicity of steady-statesolutions, frequency of self-sustained oscillatory solutions, and so on. Inparticular, the complex interplay of diabaticity (positive or negative) of theburning sample with pressure (or any other operating condition) would bevery cumbersome to understand by either numerical or experimental means.The variety of situations possibly arising from nonadiabatic and nonlinearburning is just too wide and too sensitive to initial conditions to be fullyunderstood without a unifying interpretation. This can solely be providedthrough an analytic viewpoint.

An example is the behavior of a solid propellant burning, with differentlevels of diabaticity, near its pressure deflagration limit (PDL). This is aproblem of static or uncoupled stability. The sheer existence of a PDL isexperimentally known since 40 years; a computer simulation can detect butnot explain the occurrence of a PDL; several analytic approaches attemptedin the past could not justify the presence of a PDL. The combined analysisof PDL by analytic, numerical, and experimental means prompted the ideathat PDL is reached when the self-sustained oscillatory solution, in turntriggered for decreasing pressure as an Hopf bifurcation, looses its stability.The frequency of the self-sustained oscillatory burning can be evaluatedanalytically, while its amplitude can be measured by numerical tests; byexperimental means one can easily verify only frequencies. For diabaticitydifferent from zero, the above picture is further complicated by: 1) thepresence of a second, unstable steady-state solution for heat loss less than acritical value; 2) no steady- state solution for heat loss larger than thiscritical value; 3) one steady-state solution for heat input (of different naturefor different values of heat input); 4) stable steady-state self-sustainedoscillatory burning for heat input and pressure below some critical value; 5)stable steady-state time-invariant burning for heat input and pressureabove this critical value. Details about this complex behavior were reporteda• the Workshop. The point here is simply that it would be very difficult todiscriminate all of these overlapping trends without a well coordinatedanalytic and numerical efforts (synergism).

Another example is the dynamic extinction limit found when fasttransients are imposed between two otherwise stable, time-invariant steady-state burning solutions. This is a problem of dynamic or transitional orcoupled stability. The above non!inear stability analysis is able to detect acritical value of burning rate under which extinction neces.arily follows formonotonically decreasing pressure (for example), whereas numericalcomputations or experimental tests can only indirectly perceive the existenceof this limiting value. This critical value corresponds to an unstable root ofthe perturbed energy equation. On the other hand, numerical computationscan only prove the unstable or "repulsive" nature of this critical value ofburning rate; even experimental methods are of marginal help in thisinstance, since unstable configurations cannot be directly observed. Again,the combined use of analytic, numerical, and experimental techniques allowsa full understanding of phenomena otherwise intractable or at least puzzlingby separate implementation of standard investigation techniques.

Other specific advances and developments in mathematical modeling ofsolid propellant combustion, which were reported at this Workshop, aresummarized briefly. Although not discussed for a matter of space, differentforms of synergism can be exploited for the following problems as well.

9.2 Equivalence of Linearized, Pressure-Driven ZN and FM Descriptions

Under the QSHOD assumptions, the ZN and FM descriptions oflinearized, pressure-driven unsteady propellant combustion have previouslybeen described as being equivalent within a somewhat limited scope of thedescriptions (King, 1980; T'ien, 1984; De Luca et al., 1990; Beckstoad, 1991).A more complete equivalence was shown (Son and Brewster, 1992) by formalextension to the 4th and last parameter in the descriptions (the Jacobianparameter in ZN) as follows:

A [FM nomenclature] = [ZN nom-enclature]r

13 [F'M nonienclature] = [ZN nornenclaturel

It was noted by l)e Luca that there are computational difficulties, however,with using a value of n, (or ý) other than zero for transient buiiiing.Moreover, at present, there does not appear to be sufficiently accuratesteady-state experimental data to warrant the use of non-zero n, values.

9.3 Extension of Linearized, ZN and FM Descriptions to Radiation-Driven

The extension of the linearized ZN and FM theory to the radiationdriven case was reported by Italian, Russian and US researchers at theWorkshop. Similar results were reported by all groups, but minor differencescould also be detected in the approaches. The US group presented results forboth FM and ZN formulations; the Italian group also implemented bothformulations but preferably uses FM, employing ZN mainly for comparison,the Russian group adopted the ZN formulation only.

In addition, the US group emphasized that, like in the pressure-drivencase, the two FM and ZN approaches are equivalent if consistent parameterdefinitions are made. Between the US and Russian formulations of the ZNapproach, there was also a difference in the way that the ZN parameters aredefined. The US group considered the net radiant flux to the propellantsurface, q, to be a third indcpcndent variable, in such a way that

rb = rt(pTc,q)

"T,= T,(p,Tc,q)

The ZN parameters are thus defined as:

The Russian group invoked the equivalence principle, by which

This approach leads to ZN parameters defined as follows:

k*-(T,-To) ( 9lnrbo8T0 To*

If the equivalence principle holds, then the Russian formulation seemspreferable since it is simpler. However, Zarko expressed doubts about thevalidity of the equivalence principle; for details see Zarko, 1992. Brewsteremphasized that the equivalence principle may still hold if consideration istaken of the fraction of radiation absorbed below the rate-controlling layer(cf Konev and Klevnoi, 1966; Ibiricu and Williams, 1975).

9.4 Transfer Function Between Linearized Radiation- and Pressure-DrivenResponse Functions

It has been widely recognized that it would be very advantageous if thegeneral complex-valued, frequency-dependent transfer function

R)TF_--•L

for converting the easily measured linearized radiation-driven responseunction Rq to the linearized pressure-driven response function Rp) could be

reduced to a simple constant, namely the ratio of the steady-state burningrate sensitivities:

TF = -v [ZN nomenclature] = n [FM nomenclature]14 q

In a previous study limited to negligibly small q values (De Luca, 1976) ithad been reported that the only condition, besides the inherent QSHODassumptions, necessary for this simple relation to hold was the limit ofsurface absorption (opaque propellant). However, it has been recently found(Son and Brewster, 1992), and reported at this Workshop, that there is an

effect of the mean radiant flux, q, on the ZN or FM parameters (r,k,v,, or

A,B,n,n,) that adds an extra restriction. Namely, for sufficiently large qvalues there is a change in the steady-state parameters such that in general

where * indicates q > 0 and no * indicates q = 0. In order for TF = V/Vq tohold, in addition to surface absorption, it is necessary for the mean radiantflux to be small enough that

Since it is impossible to have an oscillating component of q with q - 0 , andsince surface absorption may be a difficult condition to achieve (even forwhat are ordinarily thought of as opaque material - wavelengthcombinations, e.g. AP - 10.6 ptm), it remains to be seen whether or not theseconditions can be achieved experimentally.

Nevertheless, it was emphasized at the Workshop that converting Rqdata to Rp data is only a part of the potential benefit of the unsteadyradiation - driven combustion technique. The ability to investigate thefundamental combustion mechanisms and test various combustion theories,which is afforded by the simplicity and versatility of this technique, is abenefit which perhaps surpasses that of direct Rp -. Rq conversion.

9.5 Linear Stability Analysis of Radiation Augmented Combustion atConstant Pressure

Advances were also reported in linear stability analysis of radiation -augmented propellant combustion by several research groups. In general, it

has been reported that external radiation (q > 0) tends to stabilizecombustion (or increase the region of stable combustion) over the case

without external radiation (q = 0). However, for a given level of externalradiation, distributing the absorption of the radiant energy deeper in thepropellant (reducing the propellant opacity) apparently decreases the domainof stability. The underlying physical reasons for these trends could not bediscussed at the Workshop. It was also noted that stability is very sensitiveto condensed phase heat release and activation energy parameters. Theseissues need to be further explored.

9.6 Steady State Combustion Modeling: Negative Exponent Effect

The issue of negative exponent (mesa burning) was also discussed brieflyat the Workshop. A presentation by Yin ascribed negative exponent inAP/PU propellants to melting and covering of AP particles by the binder onthe propellant surface. A detailed model of the process based on the BDPmodel was presented.

In relation to negative exponent behavior in homogeneous propellants,Novozhilov speculated on a unique possible mechanism for the behavior. Hesuggested that the combustion may actually be microscopically oscillatory inthe negative exponent region (with a reduced mean component of burningrate) due to the steady-state parameters (r,k) crossing into the intrinsicallyunstable domain for this pressure range.

10. CONCLUSIONS

From this Workshop it appears as though a fruitful synergism betweenanalytic and numerical methods already exists in several areas ofcombustion. This synergism looks capable of furthering our understanding offundamental issues and providing reasonable guidelines for practicalapplications. A careful comparison of analytic to numerical developments,possibly together with experimental information for a conclusive validation,is an approach that stresses cooperative interaction (synergism).

Lack of communications between analysis and computation is a real factdue to different languages, backgrounds, professional interests, mentalattitude, and finally just historical developments in sciences. But it shouldbe overcome. Both analysis and computation benefit from each other. Inprinciple, analytic methods are predictive but can only be applied tosimplified problems, while numerical methods can afford very complexproblems but are only simulative. Synergism will be more fruitful than justthe sum of the two parts and is expected to trigger substantial progress inthe current understanding of combustion and sciences in general.
