Abstract

This experiment is to understand a characteristics of smoke layer formation affected periodicity of fire plumes. The ON-OFF jet was used to constitute the oscillating flow, which was formed by a mixture of nitrogen gas with kerosene particles. The instantaneous images was obtained by digital video camera using laser sheet technique. The results were confirmed that the smoke layer in the near fire source comprise vortices which are formed by impingement from the periodicity of fire plume. The periodic impinging of plumes were thickened the smoke layer and produced the back-flow.

ON-OFF 제트를 사용하여 plume의 주기성이 천장아래에 형성되는 연층에 미치는 정성적인 영향을 파악하였다. 사용된 연기는 가열에 의해 증발된 kerosene 입자를 섞은 질소가스이다. Laser sheet에 의해 산란된 유동장의 순간 상들은 디지털 비디오 카메라에 의해 녹화되었다. ON-OFF 제트와 연속제트의 연층형성 과정을 비교하므로서 화원근처에 형성되는 연층은 plume과 천장의 주기적인 충돌에 의해 지배됨을 확인하였다. 또한 plume의 주기적인 충돌은 연층을 두껍게하며, back-flow를 일으킴을 확인하였다.
