This thesis presents turbulent partially premixed combustion modeling behind a bluff-body by using the Flamelet Generated Manifold. The objective of the present work is to develop a 4D FGM program to simulate partially premixed combustion at a reasonable computational cost. Pre-tabulated data of this manifold is obtained by using a correlated joint PDF. An in-house code is developed to build a pre-tabulated library in conjunction with a correlated PDF. Also, an exclusive OpenFOAM solver is created by employing the PIMPLE algorithm. This solver provides the link of the computational domain with the pre-tabulated chemistry. This program is used to simulate Cambridge-Sandia stratified burner... 

In the last decade, harvesting energy from renewable phenomena in nature has attracted the attention of many researchers and turned it into a hot research focus. Wind flow around the world is an endless, repeatable and available source of energy. Therefore, harvesting wind energy disrupts the damaging cycle of fossil fuels to nature and fades over time. Therefore, in order to convert the mechanical green energy in the wind into electricity, mechanisms based on aeroelastic instabilities have attracted the attention of researchers. In this research, it is intended to design and build a test platform that is a suitable platform for research and testing on the aeroelastic instability of...
