An experimental investigation has been conducted with the objective of studying the mixing mechanism near the nozzle exit in a tone-excited jet diffusion flame. The fuel jet was pulsed by means of a loudspeaker-driven cavity. The excitation frequencies were chosen for the two cases of the non-resonant and resonant frequency identified as a fuel tube resonance due to acoustic excitation. The effect of tone-excitations on mixing pattern near the nozzle exit and flame was visualized using various techniques, including schlieren photograph and laser light scattering photograph from $TiO_2$ seed particles. In order to clarify the details of the flame feature observed by visualization methods, hotwire measurements have been made. Excitation at the resonant frequency makes strong mixing near the nozzle. In this case, the fuel jet flow in the vicinity of nozzle exit breaks up into disturbed fuel parcels. This phenomena affects greatly the combustion characteristics of the tone excited jet and presumably occurs by flow separation from the wall inside the fuel nozzle. As a result, in the resonant frequency the flame length reduces greatly.

A visualization study on the effect of forcing amplitude in tone-excited jet diffusion flames has been conducted. Visualization techniques are employed using optical schemes. which are a light scattering photography. Flame stability curve is attained according to Reynolds number and forcing amplitude at a fuel tube resonant frequency. Flame behavior is globally grouped into two from attached flame to blown-out flame according to forcing amplitude: one sticks the tradition flame behavior which has been observed in general jet diffusion flames and the other shows a variety of flame modes such as the flame of a feeble forcing amplitude where traditionally well-organized vortex motion evolves, a fat flame. an elongated flame. and an in-burning flame. Particular attention is focused on an elongation flame. which is associated with a turnabout phenomenon of vortex motion and on a reversal of the direction of vortex roll-up. It is found that the flame length with forcing amplitude is the direct outcome of the evolution process of the formed inner flow structure. Especially the negative part of the acoustic cycle under the influence of a strong negative pressure gradient causes the shapes of the fuel stem and fuel branch part and even the direction of vortex roll-up to dramatically change.

층류영역의 분출유량에서 큰 가진강도 효과를 얻기 위해 연료관 관 공명주파수로 가진된 비예혼합 분류 화염의 일반적인 가진 연소특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 화염 안정화 특성에서는 두 가지 형태의 부상 특성이 존재하는 사실을 알았는데, 화염이 부상되는 가진강도 크기에서 한 쪽은 감소, 다른 영역에서는 증가하는 것으로 나타나 각각 서로 다른 부상기구가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 부상되지 않고 노즐에 부착된 분출유량 영역에서의 가진 연소특성을 가진 강도에 따른 화염 길이와 형상, 유동장 응답 특성 그리고 노즐 출구에서의 유속 분포를 중심으로 집중 조사하였다. 특이한 현상으로는 가진 강도 증가에 따라 화염의 신장과 in-burning 현상 그리고 화염 내 거동 와동들의 말림방향이 서로 역전되는 현상 등이 발견되었다. 노즐 출구의 유속분포와 가시화 기법을 통해 이러한 현상들이 노즐관 관벽 안쪽서부터 음의 속도가 발생하기 시작함에 따라 주변 산화제인 공기가 노즐관 안으로 유입되는 현상과 관련되는 것으로 파악되었다.

An experimental study on flame lift-off characteristics of propane jet flame highly diluted with nitrogen has been conducted introducing acoustic forcing with a tube resonant frequency. A flame stability curve is attained according to forcing strength and nozzle exit velocity for $N_2$ diluted flames. Flame lift-off behavior with forcing strength and nozzle exit velocity is globally categorized into three; a well premixed behavior caused by a collapsible mixing for large forcing strength, a coexistent behavior of well-premixed and edge flames interacting with well-organized inner fuel vortices for moderate forcing strengths, and edge flame behavior for small forcing strengths. Special focus is concentrated on the coexistent behavior of the flame base in lifted flame since this may give a hint to a possibility which the flame base behaves like a well-mixed premixed flame in highly turbulent lifted flames. It is also shown that the acoustic forcing to self-pulsating laminar lifted flame affects flame lift-off behavior considerably which is closely related to downstream flow velocity, mixture strength, effective fuel Lewis number, and flame stretch.
