The purpose of this study is to investigate the combustion emission characteristics changing auxiliary air injection in combustion field of coaxial swirling diffusion combustor. For this purpose, mean temperature, CO, CO2, O2 and HC concentration were measured by changing excess air ratio and auxiliary air injection. As a result of this study, mean temperature, CO2 emission were increased and CO emission decreased by increasing auxiliary air. Therefore, this paper showed the auxiliary air injection effected strongly on flame structure and combustion emission characteristics.

본 연구에서는 다중선회연소기의 원리에 기초하여 속도차가 있는 두 공기류의 전단층에 기체연료를 분출하여 연소시키면 연료가 두 공기류 사이에 유입되므로 연료 가 산화제의 접촉면적이 증대되고 또한 난류혼합속도가 큰 영역으로 연료가 유입되므 로 혼합효과가 증대되어 고부하연소에 적절한 방식이 될 것으로 생각하여 동축이중공 기분류중의 난류 확산화염에 대해 그 화염구조를 밝히고 이 화염을 실용연소기에 응용 하기 위한 기초자료를 얻는데 목적이 있다.

The present study has been motivated by the development of a reliable numerical methodology for simulation of kerosene/LOx coaxial swirl injectors. To deal with thermodynamic non-ideality and anomalies of transport properties pronounced at supercritical pressures, a set of subroutine libraries has been constructed based on the cubic equations of state, and applied to an existing flamelet analysis code. For computational efficiency, two-dimensional axisymmetric RANS formulation with swirl was adopted and validated successfully against an isothermal coaxial swirling jet. For the actual problem with high pressure combustion, however, numerical results show that the RANS models yield excessive production of turbulence probably due to high density gradient magnitude in the vicinity of mixing layer of swirling film flow, and imply strongly further improvement of the turbulence models.

The annular and coaxial swirl flows between which LPG is supplied was selected to study the swirling flames in double co-swirl flows. The objective of this study is to research into the effects of double co-swirl flow conditions on the stability limit, the reverse flow boundary, and the time mean temperature distributions of the swirling flames. The increase of swirl intensity of axial flow makes the stability limit decrease, but the annular swirl flow (SM>0.5) makes stability and swirl intensity of axial flow increase, And the existence of axial swirl flow makes flame intensive and small in size, and this may be applicable to the design of high power compact combustor.

In order to predict the effect of swirl on the structure of concentric laminar jet diffusion flame, present study examined the effect of swirl on the flame characteristics by numerical numerical analysis through theoretical model. The theoretical model has been developed for the co-axial laminar jet flame such that the fuel and air are supplying with swirl through inner and outer co-axial tube respectively. For the parametric study, swirl number, Reynolds number of fuel and air and directions of swirl are chosen as important parametes. The results of study show that the flame with width and shorter length is formed by larger swirl number. The important factor of the flame shape is the recirculating zone formed around jet axis near the exit of nozzle. In case of weak swirl, the effect of directions of swirl is not appeared. However, for the strong swirl, the flame with shorter length are appeared in case of counter-swirl compared with the case of co-swirl.
