微重力下薄燃料表面火焰传播的地面窄通道模拟

对微重力下薄燃料表面逆风火焰传播的地面窄通道模拟，进行了量纲分析，并通过火焰传播 图像记录进行了实验验证. 结果表明，减小实验段特征尺寸可以实现微重力燃烧的地面模拟. 在各种氧气浓度条件下，竖直和水平窄通道内的火焰传播速度随气流速度的变化趋势完全不 同，而且，水平窄通道可以有效限制自然对流，而竖直窄通道较难. 当通道高度增大时，竖 直和水平窄通道中，火焰传播速度和吹熄极限速度都不同程度地增大，这是热损失减小、火 焰面遇见的气流速度减小以及自然对流速度增大3个因素的综合结果. 对于水平窄通道， 1cm是一个可以定性模拟微重力下自然对流的尺寸. 对于竖直窄通道，则需要高度更小的窄通 道来限制自然对流.

SIMULATION OF FLAME SPREAD OVER THIN SOLID FUEL UNDER MICROGRAVITY USING NARROW CHANNEL ON GROUND

The simulation of flame spread over thin solid fuel under microgravity with narrow channel was analyzed with dimesion theory and validated experimentally by using flame spread picture recording. The result shows that the qualitative simulation of microgravity combustion on ground can be achieved with reducing the size of test section. The trends of the flame spread rate varying with flow velocity in vertical and horizontal nar- row channels are quite different. The natural convection in horizontal narrow channel is effectively suppressed, while that in vertical channel is not.
