Therefore, the construction of the Design of Experiments (DoE) is paramount for the successful inference of the intrinsic behavior of such systems. There is a vast literature on one-shot designs such as low discrepancy sequences and Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). However, in a sensitivity analysis context, an important property is the stochasticity of the DoE which is partially addressed by these methods. This work proposes a new stochastic, iterative DoE – named KDOE – based on a modified Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). It is a two-step process: (i) candidate samples are generated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based on KDE, and (ii) one of them is selected based on some metric. The performance of the method is assessed by means of the C2-discrepancy space-filling criterion. KDOE appears to be as performant as classical one-shot methods in low dimensions, while it presents increased performance for high-dimensional parameter spaces. It is a versatile method which offers an alternative to classical methods and, at the same time, is easy to implement and offers customization based on the objective of the DoE.}, keywords = {Stochastic processes, Design of experiments, Discrepancy, Optimal design, Uncertainty quantification}}

This study shows that, in LES of such a combustor, the treatment of the liquid fuel film created on the walls of the injection system affects the mean flame weakly, but modifies the flame dynamics strongly. The configuration used for this work is the experimental setup SICCA-spray available at EM2C laboratory in Paris. First steady spray flame measurements are used to validate the LES Euler-Lagrange approach. Two modelling strategies for the interaction between the liquid fuel and the injector walls are tested with a negligible impact on the flame shape and structure. In the second part the same comparison is applied to another operating condition where a self-sustained thermo-acoustic limit-cycle is experimentally observed. In that case resonant coupling is achieved with LES, confirming the adequacy of the approach but only when the film layer is taken into account. Indeed, contrarily to the stable configuration, the difference between the two Lagrangian boundary conditions is shown to have a major impact on the feedback mechanism leading to the thermoacoustic oscillation.}, keywords = {Thermoacoustic instabilities, Combustion modelling, Two-phase flows, LES, Liquid/wall interaction}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010218020301590?via%3Dihub}}

To that regard, a thorough understanding of their intrinsic hydrodynamic limits and stability properties is mandatory. To achieve this, we propose an analytical study of the eigenvalues obtained by a von Neumann perturbative analysis. It is shown that the Knudsen number, naturally defined as a particular dimensionless wavenumber in the athermal case, is sufficient to expand rigorously the eigenvalues of the DVBE and other fluidic systems such as Euler, Navier–Stokes and all Burnett equations. These expansions are therefore compared directly to one another. With this methodology, the influences of the lattice closure and equilibrium on the hydrodynamic limits and Galilean invariance are pointed out for the D1Q3 and D1Q4 lattices, without any ansatz. An analytical study of multi-relaxation time (MRT) models warns us of the errors and instabilities associated with the choice of arbitrarily large ratios of relaxation frequencies. Importantly, the notion of the Knudsen–Shannon number is introduced to understand which physics can be solved by a given LBM numerical scheme. This number is also shown to drive the practical stability of MRT schemes. In the light of the proposed methodology, the meaning of the Chapman–Enskog expansion applied to the DVBE in the linear case is clarified.}, keywords = {kinetic theory, computational methods, Navier–Stokes equations}}
