预混火焰拉伸和曲率效率的物理分析

湍流燃烧的基本火焰结构是拉伸的曲面涡管;拉伸流场中的管形火焰模拟了湍流燃烧的细微结构。本文对平面预混火焰、拉伸预混火焰和管形拉伸预混火焰进行了质量、能量和组分的守恒分析。通过对比这几种火焰,揭示了火焰拉伸效果是通过优先扩散改变火焰温度和熄火极限;而火焰曲率通过增强或削弱这种优先扩散效果来影响火焰温度,影响的大小和火焰厚度与火焰半径的比值呈正比。

铝颗粒粉尘对冲火焰数值模拟研究

铝颗粒由于具有能量密度高、易储存、燃烧过程不产生温室气体等优势,有望成为未来化石燃料替代的解决方案.本文建立了铝颗粒粉尘火焰的燃烧模型,其中考虑了相间传热、相变、表面化学反应、气相详细化学反应及辐射传热等过程,并针对铝颗粒粉尘对冲火焰开展了数值模拟研究.首先,通过仿真McGill大学的铝颗粒粉尘对冲火焰实验进行模型验证,并分析了实验中使用铝颗粒本身作为示踪粒子引起的气相速度测量误差,结果表明,数值模拟得到的离散相速度分布与实验结果基本一致,火焰传播速度的预测值也同实验数据吻合较好.当颗粒粒径小于10μm时,连续介质假设不再成立,相间传热模型必须考虑过度区机制,随着颗粒粒径的增加,火焰传播速度不断降低.随着对冲火焰拉伸率的增加,颗粒在火焰区的停留时间减少,并出现燃烧不完全的现象,粉尘火焰由双峰变为单峰结构.火焰传播速度随着拉伸率的增加而增大,通过线性外推可得到未拉伸的火焰传播速率约为29 cm/s.辐射引起的热损失会导致气相温度大幅降低,但辐射传热对颗粒的加热作用相对较小.     

流量非对称性对层流火焰传播速度测量的影响

对冲火焰被广泛地应用于测量层流火焰传播速度,但实验中常常出现两个喷嘴的流量非对称,造成流场的非对称性.通过数值模拟发现,流量不对称性使得火焰锋面不断移向流量较小的一侧,两侧火焰速度均发生变化.随着流量差增大,流量较大侧得到的层流火焰速度也稍有增加,而流量较小侧的与对称条件下的一致.建议尽量使用流量较小侧作为测量区域.在常规实验的流量偏差内,使用局部拉伸率拟合所得到的层流火焰传播速度是可靠的.

Use of laser-induced spark for studying ignition stability and unburned hydrogen escaping from laminar diluted hydrogen diffusion jet flames

Ignition and unburned hydrogen escaping from hydrogen jet diffusion flames diluted with nitrogen up to 70% were experimentally studied. The successful ignition locations were about 2/3 of the flame length above the jet exit for undiluted flames and moved much closer to the exit for diluted flames. For higher levels of dilution or higher flow rates, there existed a region within which a diluted hydrogen diffusion flame can be ignited and burns with a stable liftoff height. This is contrary to previous findings that pure and diluted hydrogen jet diffusion cannot achieve a stable lifted flame configuration. With liftoff, the flame is noisy and short with significant amount of unburned hydrogen escaping into the product gases. If ignition is initiated below this region, the flame propagates upstream quickly and attaches to the burner rim. Results from measurements of unburned hydrogen in the combustion products showed that the amount of unburned hydrogen increased as the nitrogen dilution level was increased. Thus, hydrogen diffusion flame diluted with nitrogen cannot burn completely.

Prediction of NO in turbulent diffusion flames using Eulerian particle flamelet model

The combustion characteristics for the turbulent diffusion flames using the unsteady flamelet concept have been numerically investigated. The Favre-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved by a finite volume method of SIMPLE type that incorporates the laminar flamelet concept with a modified k ? ε turbulence model. The NO formation is estimated by solving the Eulerian particle transport equations in a postprocessing mode. Two test problems are considered: CH₄/H₂/N₂ jet flame and CH₄/H₂ stabilised bluff body flame. The temperature and species profiles are well captured by the flamelet model. Two different chemical mechanisms (GRI 2.11 and 3.0) give nearly identical results for temperature and species except NO. The GRI 3.0 gives significantly higher NO levels compared to the GRI 2.11. This is mainly attributed to the difference in NO formation by the prompt mechanism. The NO formation is sensitive to the number of flamelet particles. The NO levels for two test flames do not change when the flamelet particle number exceeds six.     

Stabilization, propagation and instability of tribrachial triple flames

A tribrachial (or triple) flame is one kind of edge flame that can be encountered in nonpremixed mixing layers, consisting of a lean and a rich premixed flame wing together with a trailing diffusion flame all extending from a single point. The flame could play an important role on the characteristics of various flame behaviors including lifted flames in jets, flame propagation in two-dimensional mixing layers, and autoignition fronts. The structure of tribrachial flame suggests that the edge is located along the stoichiometric contour in a mixing layer due to the coexistence of all three different types of flames. Since the edge has a premixed nature, it has unique propagation characteristics. In this review, the propagation speed of tribrachial flames will be discussed for flames propagating in mixing layers, including the effects of concentration gradient, velocity gradient, and burnt gas expansion. Based on the tribrachial edge structure observed experimentally in laminar lifted flames in jets, the flame stabilization characteristics including liftoff height, reattachment, and blowout behaviors and their buoyancy-induced instability will be explained. Various effects on liftoff heights in both free and coflow jets including jet velocity, the Schmidt number of fuel, nozzle diameter, partial premixing of air to fuel, and inert dilution to fuel are discussed. Implications of edge flames in the modeling of turbulent nonpremixed flames and the stabilization of turbulent lifted flames in jets are covered.

Stabilization mechanism of lifted flame edge in the near field of coflow jets for diluted methane

The stabilization mechanism of lifted flames in the near field of coflow jets has been investigated experimentally and numerically for methane fuel diluted with nitrogen. The lifted flames were observed only in the near field of coflow jets until blowout occurred in the normal gravity condition. To elucidate the stabilization mechanism for the stationary lifted flames of methane having the Schmidt number smaller than unity, the behavior of the flame in the buoyancy-free condition, and unsteady propagation characteristics after ignition were investigated numerically at various conditions of jet velocity. It has been found that buoyancy plays an important role for flame stabilization of lifted flames under normal gravity, such that the flame becomes attached to the nozzle in microgravity. The stabilization mechanism is found to be due to the variation of the propagation speed of the lifted flame edge with axial distance from the nozzle in the near field of the coflow as compared to the local flow velocity variation at the edge.
