Particle image velocimetry was used to measure velocity fields in three burners. First, the comparison of flames in bluff-body stabilized burners with and without swirl is presented. The results of the experiments present the variations of bluff-body stabilized flame when swirl is added into burner: the maximum reverse flow velocity and the maximum mean average radial velocity decrease; the maximum radial rootmean squared fluctuating (rms) velocity increases; the values of the axial velocity peak on the side of nozzle axis are lower, and the distance between the peak and centerline is bigger; the location of the maximum radial rms velocity moves to the outlet of annular air-flow from central recirculation zone (CRZ). Then, the comparison of flames in swirl burners with and without bluff-body is provided. The results of the experiments show the changes of swirling flame when bluff-body is added into swirl burner: the air vortex in the CRZ moves to the burner; the peak values of axial mean and rms velocity decrease; the distance between centerline and the mean axial and rms velocity peak increase; the peak of mean radial velocity decreases, and the peak of rms raidial velocity increase. The data from this experiment can also be established as benchmarks for the development and validation of combustion numerical simulations.展开更多

An accurate temperature prediction will likely yield better soot predictions, since the inception, growth and de- struction of the soot are affected by the temperature. This paper reported the study on the influences of turbulence closure and surface growth models on the prediction of soot levels in turbulent flames. The results demonstrated that a substantial distinction was observed in terms of temperature predictions derived using the k-c and the Rey- nolds stress models, for the two ethylene flames studied here amongst the four types of surface growth rate model investigated, the assumption of the soot surface growth rate proportional to the particle number density, but inde- pendent on the surface area of soot particles,f（As） = pNs, yields in closest agreement with the radial data. Without any adjustment to the constants in the surface growth term, other approaches where the surface growth directly proportional to the surface area and square root of surface area, f （As） = As and f （A,） = √As, result in an un- der-prediction of soot volume fraction. These results suggest that predictions of soot volume fraction are sensitive to the modelling of surface growth.展开更多

Following the idea of turbulent flamelet equation for the non-premixed flame case, which was derived based on the filtered governing equations(L. Wang, Combust. Flame 175, 259(2017)), the scalar dissipation term for tabulation can be directly computed from the resolved flowing quantities, instead of solving species transport equations. Therefore, the challenging source term closure for the scalar dissipation or any assumed probability density functions can be avoided;meanwhile the chemical sources are closed by scaling relations. The general principles are discussed in the context of large eddy simulation with case validation. The new model predictions of the bluff-body flame show sufficiently improved results, compared with these from the classic progress-variable approach.展开更多

A two-equation soot model repre- senting soot particle nucleation, growth, coagulation and oxidation, was incorporated into the CMC model. The turbulent flow-field of both flames is described using the Favre-averaged fluid-flow equations, applying a stan- dard k-c turbulence model. A number of five reaction kinetic mechanisms having 50 - 100 species and 200 - 1000 elementary reactions called ABF, Miller-Bowman, GRI-Mech3.0, Warnatz, and Qin were employed to study the effect of combustion chemistry schemes on soot predictions. The results showed that of various kinetic schemes being studied, each yields similar accuracy in temperature prediction when compared with experimental data. With respect to soot prediction, the kinetic scheme containing benzene elementary reactions tends to result in a better prediction on soot concentrations in comparison to those contain no benzene elementary reactions. Among five kinetic mechanisms being studied, the Qin combustion scheme mechanism turned to yield the best prediction on both flame temperature and soot levels.展开更多
