The jet flow field statistics, Nusselt number profile (including the secondary peak), and shear stress profile were well reproduced. The azimuthal coherence of the primary vortical structures was relatively low, leading to no discernible tempo- ral periodicity of the azimuthally averaged Nusselt number at the location of the secondary peak. While local unsteady near-wall flow separa- tion was observed in the wall jet, this flow separation did not exhibit azimuthal coherence and was not found to be the only cause of the thermal spots blue, which lead to the secondary peak in the Nusselt number, as stream-wise oriented structures also played a significant role in increasing the local heat transfer.}}

The ocean model NEMO and the CICE sea-ice model run at 1/4° resolution and the system assimilates data using a three-dimensional variational assimilation (3DVar) version of NEMOVAR. This data assimilation (DA) system can perform hybrid ensemble/variational assimilation. A 36 member ensemble of hybrid-ensemble-variational assimilation systems with perturbed observations (values and locations) has been set-up, with each member forced at the surface by a separate member of the Met Office Global-Regional Ensemble Prediction System (MOGREPS-G). The unperturbed member is forced by atmospheric fields from the Met Office operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) deterministic system. The system includes stochastic model perturbations and a Relaxation to Prior Spread (RTPS) inflation scheme. A control run of the system using an ensemble of 3DVars is shown to be generally reliable for sea level anomaly (SLA), temperature and salinity (the ensemble spread being a good representation of the uncertainty in the ensemble mean), although the ensemble is underspread in eddying regions. The ensemble mean gives a 4% reduction in error in SLA compared with the deterministic 3DVar system currently used operationally. The system was tested with different weights for the ensemble component of the hybrid background error covariance matrix and different inflation factors. The best results, in terms of short-range forecast error and ensemble reliability statistics, were obtained with hybrid three-dimensional ensemble variational DA (3DEnVar). The RTPS inflation scheme is shown to be beneficial in producing an appropriate ensemble spread in response to hybrid DA. 3DEnVar with an ensemble hybrid weight of 0.8 leads to a reduction of 20% (5%) in the ensemble mean error for SLA (profile temperature and salinity) compared with an ensemble of standard 3DVars. }}

Experimentally, the combustor is operated at atmospheric pressure with H fuel fractions of up to 50, by volume. LES-CHT results are compared and validated against time-resolved stereo PIV, OH* chemiluminescence, OH-PLIF imaging and acoustic pressure measurements. In terms of dynamics, for the pure CH and 20 of H enrichment cases, no thermoacoustic oscillation is observed in either the experimental or numerical data. As the fuel fraction of hydrogen is increased, the flame length reduces due to the increase in laminar flame speed and the heat release rate distribution becomes more compact. CHT simulations reveal that H-enrichment leads to higher temperatures at the centerbody tip. At 50 H, in agreement with experiments, LES predicts a bi-modal thermoacoustic oscillation, with two main frequencies corresponding to the quarter and chamber modes of the system. Dynamic Mode Decomposition is performed on the measured OH-PLIF images and LES 3D fields to extract each mode contribution to the overall flame dynamics. It is observed that both modes are characterized by local variations of equivalence ratio, while only the higher frequency (chamber) mode is characterized by vortices periodically detaching from the backplane and the centerbody walls causing a strong periodic wrinkling of the flame front during the thermoacoustic oscillation.}, keywords = {H2-enrichment, Thermoacoustic instabilities, Large eddy simulation, Turbulent flames, Conjugate heat transfer}, pdf = {https://cerfacs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/On_the_impact_of_H2_enrichment_Preprint_AR_CFD_22_36.pdf}}
