There is extensive interest in using H2 as a fuel to power gas turbines (GTs), rotating detonation engines (RDEs), and rockets. To facilitate a greater adoption of H2 in these sectors, designing safe and effective storage and transport systems is also crucial. Simulation can aid significantly in the development of these technologies, but H2 poses a variety of modeling challenges for CFD, stemming from its high injection velocities, low density, high mass diffusivity in air, wide flammability range, high burning velocities, and low ignition energy. In this hands-on training session, we will show how CONVERGE is uniquely suited to address these challenges in relation to various applications, including flame flashback control and lean blowout in GTs, accurate NOx modeling, the transition to detonation in RDEs, H2 storage tank filling/defueling, and H2 autoignition due to tank leakage.
