In our recent simulations of a semi-industrial-scale burner using the Lattice-Boltzmann method, the reduced chemistry comprised of one-step schemes for methane and hydrogen, with NOx estimated a posteriori using the extended Zeldovich mechanism. Because these schemes produce CO but omit post-flame CO −→ CO2 oxidation pathways, CO is systematically over-predicted, affecting temperature and radiative heat-transfer fields. Therefore, this internship will be dedicated to the development of a computationally affordable treatment of post-flame CO oxidation for CH4/H2 premixed combustion within an LBM–LES framework, and demonstrate its effect on predicted CO levels, temperature, wall heat flux, and NOx assessment.
