CH4/O2/N2层流火焰瞬态响应特性数值分析

用数值分析方法研究CH₄/O₂/N₂层流扩散火焰的瞬态响应特性.采用详细的GRI-Mech 3.0机理(包含53种组分,325个基元反应)描述CH₄氧化和NO_x生成.首先比较火焰面稳态结构的计算结果和实验数据,以验证数值方法的可靠性.用台阶跃变的火焰拉伸率来模拟瞬态流场对火焰面局部结构的影响,给出了火焰面结构(温度、组分浓度)的瞬态响应曲线,分析了火焰面的响应特性.着重探讨了不同拉伸率跃变幅度对响应特性的影响,发现火焰面的响应对于拉伸率正向跃变和负向跃变并不对称,而是相反,且在小的拉伸率跃变范围内火焰面响应时间和拉伸率跃变幅度近似成反比关系.另外,温度的平均响应时间远大于一个典型湍流燃烧场的流动时间尺度,说明火焰面非稳态效应对于湍流燃烧数值模拟有重要意义.

A Numerical Analysis of Instantaneous Response of the CH4/O2/N2 Laminar Flamelet

The instantaneous response of a laminar diffusion flamelet is investigated numerically.A detailed mechanism GRI-Mech 3.0(53-species and 325-reaction) is empolyed to describe the CH-4 oxidation and NO-x formation.A predication of steady flamelet structures is compared with the experimental data to validate the method.A step variation of strain rate is used to simulate the influence of a instantaneous flow field on the flamelet local structure.The response of flamelet structures(temperature and species concentration) to the strain rate variation is given and analyzed.We focus on the influence of the step size of the strain rate.It is found that the flamelet response to the strain rate variation is not symmetric,and the response time is inverse proportional to the strain rate variation as it is small.In addition,the mean response time of temperature is much longer than the flow time scale of a typical turbulent combustion field,which demonstrates the importance of unsteadiness in the numerical simulation of turbulent combustions.
