Role of flame-front instability in expanding turbulent flames
نویسنده
چکیده
Since most of the practical combustion devices operate in turbulent environments, study of turbulent combustion is fundamentally appealing and practically important. Turbulence enhances the flame propagation by wrinkling an otherwise laminar smooth flame, leading to an increase in the flame surface area and hence the total burning rate. There have been number of studies performed to achieve a scale of the turbulent flame speed theoretically [1-3], experimentally [4-6] and numerically [7-9].

Dynamics of outwardly-propagating reaction fronts inspires both fundamental and practical interests. While for the former we can mention in pass supernovae explosions and measurements of laminar flame speeds of reactive mixtures, the latter is relevant to the operation of engines and prevention of spark-initiated hazards such as accidental or intentional explosions. While a pointy-ignited, expa...
متن کاملEffect of the Darrieus-Landau instability on turbulent flame velocity.
The propagation of turbulent premixed flames influenced by the intrinsic hydrodynamic flame instability (the Darrieus-Landau instability) is considered in a two-dimensional case using the model nonlinear equation proposed recently by Bychkov [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 6122 (2000)]. The nonlinear equation takes into account both the influence of external turbulence and the intrinsic properties of a f...
متن کاملNumerical Control of 3D Turbulent Premixed Flame Simulations
One of the well-known properties of turbulent, premixed flames is that their speed of propagtion is correlated to the intensity of the turbulence they encounter. A simple consequence is that these types of flames are inherently unstable. Given a source of turbulence, if the flame is propagating faster than the mean flow, it will drift upstream and encounter increased turbulent intensities that ...
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 کاملVelocity of turbulent flamelets with realistic fuel expansion.
Nonlinear model equation for weakly turbulent premixed flames with realistic fuel expansion is proposed. The equation describes both the hydrodynamic flame instability and flame response to external turbulence in the regime of flamelets. On the basis of the proposed equation the velocity of turbulent flames is investigated for the cases of both weak and relatively strong turbulence. Comparison ...
