This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) project grant award to The Trustees of Princeton University provides $200,000 in funding from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028 to computationally investigate emissions in ammonia wall quenching processes and develop a predictive computational model for engineering simulations. The project aims to use detailed numerical simulations to understand the influence of geometry and wall conditions on wall quenching phenomena, with a focus on nitrous oxide formation. It will also develop a new wall-modeled large eddy simulation framework for reacting flows near walls, which will be applied to a parametric sweep of ammonia combustion wall quenching to identify conditions to avoid in ammonia combustion systems. The resulting data-based wall model will be shared publicly to enable efficient computational modeling of emissions from ammonia combustion, accelerating the development of new ammonia combustion technologies.
