Double coaxial are jets(annular and coaxial air jets) between which propane gas is fed was selected to study the structure of diffusion flames in turbulent shear flow. Schlieren and direct photographs are taken to visualize the flame structure. Mean and fluctuating temperatures and ion currents were measured to investigate the macroscopic and the instantaneous flame structure. The objective of this study is to understand the interaction between combustion and mixing process especially in the transition region of turbulent shear flow. The investigation reported in this paper focuses on the macroscopic and the instantaneous structures of three flames obtained. The increased mixing effect resulting from increase of Reynolds number of central air jet makes the flame bluish and short. When the velocity of surrounding air stream is higher than that of central air jet, the instantaneous flame structure is composed of coherent structure. It is considered that the flame structure of transitional region of mixing layer depends on the structure of mixing layer of non-reacting conditions.

This study has been mainly motivated to numerically model the supercritical mixing and combustion processes encountered in the liquid propellant rocket engines. In the present approach, turbulence is represented by the extended $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. To account for the real fluid effects, the propellant mixture properties are calculated by using SRK (Souve-Redlich-Kwong) equation of state. In order to realistically represent the turbulence-chemistry interaction in the turbulent nonpremixed flames, the flamelet approach based on the real fluid flamelet library has been adopted. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussions are made for the real fluid effects and the precise structure of gaseous methane/liquid oxygen coaxial jet flame.

실내에서 가스폭발시 피해를 예측하기 위해서 폭발 화염면의 전파를 수치해석을 통해 해석했다. 확산방정식에 의해 가스누출에 의한 실내의 가스확산분포를 구했으며 문헌에서 선택한 누출의 초기조건을 사용했다. 화염온도를 계산하기 위해 각 가스 혼합비에 따른 엔탈피와 화학식에 대한 reduced mechanism을 사용했으며 문헌에서 찾은 각 가스의 농도별 층류 연소속도를 혼합가스의 층류연소속도에 적용시켰다. k-$\varepsilon$ 모델에서 turbulance energy를 층류연소속도와 결합시켜 난류화염 전파속도를 모델링 했다. 화염면의 전파를 분석하기 위해 실내의 위치에는 직각, 화염면의 전파에는 원통좌표계를 사용했다. 유리창의 파손에 의한 화염전파면의 변화에 따른 압력상승 요인을 해석하였으며 창문의 크기에 따라서 점화위치에 따른 실내 압력상승의 영향이 서로 다르게 나타나는 결과를 얻었다.

The stability of turbulent nonpremixed interacting flames is investigated in terms of nozzle configuration shapes which depend on the existence of the center nozzles. Six nozzle arrangements which are cross 4, 5, 8, 9, square 8 and circular 8 nozzles are used for the experiment. Those are arranged to see the effect of the center nozzle out of multi-nozzle. There are many parameters that affect flame stability in multi-nozzle flame such as nozzle separation distance, fuel flowrates and nozzle configuration, but the most important factor is the existence of nozzles in the center area from the nozzle arrangement. As the number of nozzle in the area is reduced, more air can be entrained into the center of flame base and then tag flame is formed. In the case of circular 8 nozzles, blowout flowrates are above 5.4 times compared with that of single equivalent area nozzle.

To study the stabilization characteristics of diffusion flame formed in the wake of a cylindrical bluff body with fuel injection, the flame stability limits, length and temperature of recirculation zone of flame, turbulence intensity distribution near the recirculation zone of flame were measured and analyzed. The length of recirculation zone is independent on main fuel injection quantity, but it is dependent on fuel injection angles, air stream velocity, and auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone. For diffusion flame, in general, the flame stabilization is deteriorated with increase of he length of recirculation zone, but if the turbulence generator is installed, the flame stabilization is improved with increase of the length of recirculation zone. The temperature of recirculation zone is dependent on fuel injection angles, auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone, turbulence generators, and it dependent on fuel injection angles, auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone, turbulence generators, and it has a maximum value at the condition of each theoretical mixture. In general, the more temperature of recirculation zone is low, the more flame is stable. But when the turbulence generator is installed, the more temperature of recirculation zone is low, the more flame is unstable. The turbulence intensity in the wake of bluff body is increased with increase of diameter or blockage ratio of grid. The more turbulence intensity is increased by installation of turbulence generator, the more flame is unstable. Finally, It is clear that the stabilization characteristics of diffuser flame can be controlled by some parameters such as fuel injection angles, auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone, turbulence generators.

The effect of fuel composition on flame length was studied in a non-premixed turbulent diluted hydrogen jet with coaxial air. The observed flame length was expressed as a function of the ratio of coaxial air to fuel jet velocity and compared with a theoretical prediction based on the velocity ratio. Four cases of fuel mixed by volume were determined. In the present study, we derived a scaling correlation for predicting the flame length in a simple jet with coaxial air using the effective jet diameter in the near-field concept. The experimental results showed that visible flame length had a good relation with the theoretical prediction. The scaling analysis is also valid for diluted hydrogen jet flames with varied fuel composition.

This experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of the flame holder on the multi-slot film cooling in the ramjet combustor. The turbulent wake which is generated by the flame holder on the entrance of the coolant flow path affects on the slot. Adiabatic film cooling effectiveness on the downstream wall of the slot exit are measured. The results show that the film cooling performance is rapidly decreased after the slot exit by shear layer and high turbulence intensity between separated flows and coolant flows.

High-resolution numerical study is carried out to investigate the flame stability of the turbulent supersonic combustion in a Dual-Combustion Ramjet (DCR). The auto-ignition in a shear layer between hydrogen/carbon-monoxide syngas and air was studied at elevated enthalpy condition. Comparison of a constant area combustor and a combustor with a small divergence angle shows that the supersonic combustion has a characteristics of the lifted flame and its stability is influenced significantly by the compressibility.

This experimental study has been conducted to investigate the installation of the vertical flame holder shape in ramjet combustor, which affects on the film cooling effectiveness. All slot position, the film cooling effectiveness decreases because of the shear layer and high turbulence intensity between separated flows and coolant flows. When the flame holder is installed, film cooling effectiveness decreases abruptly on the beginning of the slot exit region due to the mixing effect. As the blowing rate increases, the film cooling effectiveness is increased for all cases due to the augmented momentum of injected coolant from the slot.

Experimental investigations were conducted for two hydrogen-nitrogen coaxial jet diffusion flames. A flame was a conventional coaxial jet diffusion flame and the other was a coaxial jet diffusion flame of which ambient air-jet turbulence was intensified. In this study, firstly two kinds of NOx measuring system were campared by using different convertors, secondly the NOx formation characteristics were investigated in order to examine the effect of turbulence intensity. In this study it is known that stainless convertor has some problem in the converting process from NO$_2$to NO in fuel rich region but molybdenum convertor can detect the amount of NOx correctly. The increase of turbulence intensity reduces the thermal NOx less than a half in our experiment and this effect is conspicuous near the nozzle. The conversion rate from NO to NO$_2$and the portion of NO$_2$among NOx are increased with turbulence intensity. These NOx measurements will help to understand the influences of turbulence intensity on NOx formation.
