Vorticity Dynamics in Three-dimensional Pulsating Co-flowing Jet Diffusion Flames
نویسنده
چکیده
The vorticity dynamics in the near field of laminar (Re = 10) co-flowing jets subjected to the single or combined effeets of axial and azimuthal forcing is analyzed. It is shown that the interaction of the three-dimensional vortex structure resulting from the growth of the two and three-dimensional instabilities may result in large changes in the entrainment and mixing characteristics of the jet. For each azimuthal forcing, and for a fixed velocity ratio between the inner and outer jet, we show the existence of several instability modes leading to a pattern of lateral ejections of closed vortex loops. These modes and their topological changes are analyzed in view of the three-dimensional inviscid induction of the two concentric array of vortex rings emanating from the j e t s exit nozzle. For the case of methane-air diffusion flames, fiow visualizations revealed the existence of qualitatively similar patterns of closed fíame cells and fingers. -/(/y>;<

Potential-flow models for channelled two-dimensional premixed flames around near-circular obstacles.
The dynamics of two-dimensional thin premixed flames is addressed in the framework of mathematical models where the flow field on either side of the front is piecewise incompressible and vorticity free. Flames confined in channels with asymptotically straight impenetrable walls are considered. Besides a few free propagations along straight channels, attention is focused on flames propagating ag...

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is used to study auto–ignition of turbulent diffusion flames. A novel, all–Mach number algorithm developed by Doom et al is used. The chemical mechanism is a nine species, nineteen reaction mechanism for H2 and Air from Mueller at el. 2 Simulations of three dimensional turbulent diffusion flames are performed. Isotropic turbulence is superimposed on an unstrain...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional imaging of soot volume fraction and OH in turbulent jet diffusion flames spanning low to high mixing rates
Simultaneous planar measurements of laser-induced incandescence (LII) and Laser-Induced Fluorescence of OH radical were carried out in turbulent jet flames from a simple jet, precessing jet and bluff body burner firing natural gas. These flames span a wide range of global mixing rates and sooting characteristics, and are selected because measurements of total NOx emissions, radiant fraction and...
متن کاملReaction-rate, Mixture-fraction, and Temperature Imaging in Turbulent Methane/air Jet Flames
Instantaneous two-dimensional measurements of reaction rate, mixture fraction, and temperature are demonstrated in turbulent partially premixed methane/air jet flames. The forward reaction rate of the reaction CO OH ⇒ CO2 H is measured by simultaneous OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and two-photon CO LIF. The product of the two LIF signals is shown to be proportional to the reaction rate. T...
متن کاملImpact of density differences on turbulent round jets
Jets with different density than the fluid into which they are issued, constitute an important class of flows relevant for applications in technical and environmental situations. In this work three cases of variable-density turbulent round jets discharging from a straight circular pipe into a weakly confined low-speed co-flowing air stream are studied with the aid of large eddy simulation. The ...
