Characterization of Low Lewis Number Flames
A recent numerical study of turbulence-flame interactions in lean premixed hydrogen, where the Lewis number was approximately 0.36, observed that flames at different equivalence ratios presented significantly different behavior despite having the same Karlovitz and Damköhler numbers. This differing behavior is due to the thermodiffusively-unstable nature of low Lewis number flames. In more than...
متن کاملLewis Number Effects in Distributed Flames
Recent computational studies have simulated a mode of distributed premixed combustion where turbulent mixing plays a significant role in the transport of mass and heat near the reaction zone. Under these conditions, molecular transport processes play a correspondingly smaller role. A consequence of burning in this regime is that a change in the gas mixture composition can occur within the flame...
متن کاملEffects of Lewis Number on Temperatures of Spherical Diffusion Flames
Spherical diffusion flames supported on a porous sphere were studied numerically and experimentally. Experiments were performed in 2.2 s and 5.2 s microgravity facilities. Numerical results were obtained from a Chemkin-based program. The program simulates flow from a porous sphere into a quiescent environment, yields both steady-state and transient results, and accounts for optically thick gas-...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of Lewis number effects on lean premixed turbulent flames
A dominant factor in determining the burning rate of a premixed turbulent flame is the degree to which the flame front is wrinkled by turbulence. Higher turbulent intensities lead to greater wrinkling of the flame front and an increase in the turbulent burning rate. This picture of turbulent flame dynamics must be modified, however, to accommodate the affects of variations in the local propagat...
متن کاملLinear stability of planar premixed flames: Reactive Navier-Stokes equations with finite activation energy and arbitrary Lewis number
A numerical shooting method for performing linear stability analyses of travelling waves is described and applied to the problem of freely propagating planar premixed flames. Previous linear stability analyses of premixed flames either employ high activation temperature asymptotics or have been performed numerically with finite activation temperature, but either for unit Lewis numbers (which ig...
