An experimental study on the characteristics of stability of propane turbulent nonpremixed jet flames discharged normal to air free-streams with uniform velocity profile is conducted. Experimental observations are focused on the flame shape, the stability considering two kinds of flame, lift-off distance, and the flame length according to velocity ratio. In order to investigate the mixing structure of the flame base at the lower limit, we employ the RMS technique and measure the species concentration by a gas chromatography. In the results of the stability curve and lifted flame, it is fecund that the dependency of nozzle diameter is closely related to the large-scale vortical structure representing counter-rotating vortices pair. Also, the detailed discussion on the phenomenon of blowout due to this large vortical motion, is provided.

산불의 확산특성은 일반적으로 가연물의 특성, 지형, 바람조건과 같은 기상 상태등과 관련이 있다. 산불의 발달과정에 있어 수치해석을 통한 확산예측 모델은 열전달 과정에 기본을 둔 열에너지 전달에 대한 해석이 가장 일반적인 방법론이다. 산불의 발생시 열에너지의 전파속도를 해석하는 것은 화염의 생성과 열전달, 그리고 소멸에 이르는 전 과정에 대한 물리적, 화학적 해석을 통해 화염의 이동에 따른 전파속도로 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고체연소물질의 표면화염전파에 대한 수치해석을 통해 1차원 지표화 확산모델식을 제시하였다. 1차원 확산모델식은 평지상태에서 풍속조건에 따른 화염의 전파속도 산정식으로써 지표연료의 화염유지시간, 화염의 높이, 화염의 온도, 지표연료의 착화온도 등에 대한 실험 및 이론식을 적용하였다. 실험값 및 다른 모델식과의 ROS 비교 결과, 풍속 3 m/s 이하의 조건에서는 지수함수식의 증가곡선을 나타내는 경향을 보였다. 침엽수종인 소나무 낙엽에 대한 수치해석값과 실험값을 비교한 결과, 풍속 1-2m/s 조건에서는 확산속도가 약 10% 상향예측이 되었고 풍속 3m/s 조건에서는 약 20% 하향예측 되었다. 따라서 앞으로 지표화 확산 예측을 위해 본 연구결과에서 얻어진 화염확산 알고리즘을 이용한 초기 산불확산 예측 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The control of flame shapes in a laminar pre-mixed flame has been experimentally investigated for propane/air pre-mixed laminar flames. Flames of different size and shapes are observed with heated wires or by controlling the equivalence ratio and flow rate of a mixture. The characteristics of the partitioning of a flame or the merge of flames are analyzed and explained by considering the balance between laminar flame speed and upstream mixture velocity. A combustor might be sized down while maintaining its heat production rate the same by partitioning a flame established in it. When the equivalence ratio of mixture is decreased, individual flames are merged together and the upstream mixture velocity can be practically decreased on a nozzle having opening ratio less than unity. As a result, the flame shape is to he adjusted until the newly established balanced condition is satisfied, and then. the stable combustion can be achieved again.

Experimental study is conducted to identify the existence of a shrinking flame disk and to clarify its flame characteristics through the inspection of critical mole fraction at flame extinction and edge flame oscillation at low strain rate flames. Experiments are made as varying global strain rate, velocity ratio, and burner distance. The transition from a shrinking flame disk to a flame hole is verified through gradient measurements of maximum flame temperature. The evidence of edge flame oscillation in flame disk is also provided through numerical simulation in microgravity. It is found at low strain rate flame disks in normal gravity that buoyancy effects are importantly contributing to lateral heat loss to burner rim, and is proven through critical mole fraction at flame extinction, edge flame oscillation, and measurements of flame temperature gradient along flame disk surface.

In order to clarify the effect of equivalence ratio and kinds of fule in flame structure, a numerical simulation of triple flame developed in a co-flowing methane-air and air stream was carried out by the elementary chemical reaction mechanism. The following conclusions were obtained. Equivalence ratio at which the apparent burning velocity is maximum is a little larger than that of the one-dimensional premixed flame. Apparent burning velocities are two times higher than that of the one-dimensional premixed flame for the methane-air. The flame thrusts out forward in the downstream of the boundary between mixture and air stream, and a part of the flow is bent and forks out in this protruding flame so that a triple flame is originated; this triple flame is composed of fuel rich and lean premixed flame branches and a diffusion flame branch. Near the equivalence ratio at which the burning velocity of rule-dimensional premixed flame is the largest the effect of one-dimensional premixed flame becomes large and the fuel rich premixed flame advances and becomes vertical to the flow direction.

Experimental investigations are performed on the stability and the structure of bluff-body stabilized hydrogen flames. The velocities of coflow air are varied from subsonic to supersonic velocity of Mach 1.8 and OH PLIF images and Schilieren images are used for analysis. Three characteristic flame modes are classified into three regimes with the variation of fuel-air velocity ratio; a jet like flame, a central-jet dominated flame and a recirculation zone flame. Stability curves are drawn to find the blowout regimes and to show that flame stability is improved by increasing the lip thickness of fuel nozzle that works as bluff-body. $Damk{\ddot{o}hler$ number is adopted in order to scale the blowout curves of each flame obtained at different sizes of the bluff-body and all blowout curves are scaled successfully regardless of its bluff-body size.

Landfill gas has merely half heating value compared with liquified natural gas but can be greatly utilized as a commercial fuel. The authors have examined emission characteristics as well as measured burning velocity of LFG mixed gas which contains plenty of $CO_{2}$. With the viewpoint of fuel utilization, flame stability could be one of important characteristics of LFG. In this study, the comparison experiments are conducted between $CH_{4}$ and LFG for searching the region of flame stabilization based upon the flame blowout at maximum fuel stream velocity. As a result, it is found that stabilization region of LFG is not improved with that of $CH_{4}$ in non-swirl/or weak swirl jet diffusion flame. However, it is also known that flame stability is hardly affected by inert gas in the strong swirl with considering widened flame stabilization region of LFG rather than LNG.

Several studies have developed upward flame spread models which use somewhat different features. However, the models have not considered the transient effects of the igniter and the burning rate. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine a generalized upward flame spread model which includes these effects. We shall compare the results with results from simpler models used in the past in order to examine the importance of the simplifying assumptions. We compare these results using PMMA, and we also include experimental results for comparison. The results of the comparison indicate that flame velocity depends on the thermal properties of a material, the specific model for flame length and transient burning rate, as well as other variables including the heat flux by igniter and flame itself. The results from the generalized upward flame spread model can provide a prediction of flame velocity, flame and pyrolysis height, burnout time and position, and rate of energy output as a function of time.

본 연구에서는 폭발 공간에 존재하는 장애물에 의한 메탄-공기 혼합기의 폭발압력 및 화염전파속도의 영향을 조사하기 위해 실험적 조사를 수행하였다. 밀폐된 폭발 공간에서의 폭발압력 및 화염전파속도에 대한 장애물의 영향을 일반화하기 위해서 장애율이라고 하는 정량화된 파라메타를 사용하였다. 실험 결과 장애물 개수에 관계없이 장애율이 증가할수록 폭발압력과 화염전파속도가 증가하였다. 또한 10 % 메탄가스의 동일한 농도조건에서, 장애물이 없는 경우(장애율 = 0)의 화염전파속도는 3.46 m / s가 얻어졌으며, 장애물 3개 및 장애율 0.98 인 경우는 24.24 m / s로서 약 7 배가 증가하였다. 동일한 장애율에서는 장애물 개수가 증가할수록 폭발압력 및 화염전파속도가 급격히 증가하였다.

Experiments have been performed to investigate the structure of axisymmetric hydrogen diffusion flame in a supersonic coflow air. The characteristics and structure of supersonic flames are compared with those of subsonic flames as the velocity of coflow air increases from subsonic to supersonic velocity of Mach 1.8. Also, the subsonic and supersonic flow fields are analyzed numerically for the non-reacting conditions and the possible flame contours indicated by fuel mass fraction are compared with the measured OH radical distributions. It is found that the flame structure indicates more like a partially premixed flame as the coflow air velocity is increased from subsonic to supersonic regimes; strong reaction zone indicated by intense OH signal is found at the center, which is different from subsonic flame cases. And it is shown that the fuel jet passes along the recirculation zones behind the bluff-body fuel nozzle resulting in relatively long mixing time. This is believed to be the reason of the partially premixed flame characteristics found in the present supersonic flames.
