The NOx production and combustion characteristics are experimentally compared with an offset with counter-orifice configuration. The offset-opposed impinging flame creates stronger vortex around the stagnation point than the opposed flame. The thermal and mass mixtures be improved and the delay of turbulence dissipation be occurred by the strong vortex. In result, the turbulent flame structure transferred from the wrinkled flame and the corrugated flame to the distributed reaction flame. It was found that the offset-opposed impinging flame decreased more NOx and improved the combustion efficiency than the opposed flame. The principal objective of this study is to develop the low NOx combustor by distributed reaction flame.

In this study, opposed flow combustion was re-visited in a narrow channel. Various flame behaviors were observed. Due to the confined structure of the combustor in this study, flame structures at very narrow strain rate could be stabilized and their characteristics were investigated. This study will be helpful to understand overall flame behavior of non-premixed flame in a narrow combustion space, and will also be useful to develop small combustors.

Detailed flame structures of the opposed flames formed for different oxidant compositions are studied numerically. The detailed chemical reactions are modeled by using the CHEMKIN code. Only the $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ are assumed to participate by absorbing the radiative energy while all other gases are assumed to be transparent. The discrete ordinates method and the narrow band based WSGGM with a gray gas regrouping technique are applied for modeling the radiative transfer through non-homogeneous and non-isothermal combustion gas mixtures generated by the opposed flow flames. The results show that the different radiation model can cause different results for flame structures and the WSGGM with gray gas regrouping is successful in modeling the opposed flames with non-gray gas mixture. The numerical results show that the increases in $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ compositions cause to reduce the flame temperature and the NO formation.

The flame cell dynamics in 2-D opposed nonpremixed tubular configuration was investigated using high-fidelity numerical simulations. The diffusive-thermal instability occurs as the $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ number, Da, approaches the 1-D extinction limit of the tubular flames and several flame cells are generated depending on Da, and flame radius. In general, the number of flame cells are found close to the largest wave number from the linear stability analysis. It was also found from the displacement speed analysis that during the local flame extinction and cell formation, negative edge flame speed is observed due to small gain from reaction compared to large loss from diffusion.

Detailed flame structures of the opposed flames formed for different oxidant compositions are studied numerically. The detailed chemical reactions are modeled by using the CHEMKIN code. Only the $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$ are assumed to participate by absorbing the radiative energy while all other gases are assumed to be transparent. The discrete ordinates method and a narrow band based WSGGM with a gray gas regrouping technique are applied for modeling the radiative transfer through non-homogeneous and non-isothermal combustion gas mixtures generated by the opposed flow flames. The results show that the different radiation model can cause different results for flame structures and the WSGGM with gray gas regrouping is successful in modeling the opposed flames with non-gray gas mixture. The results also show that a reasonable information on the flame structure can be obtained from the modeling by considering different chemical compositions of the oxidant.

The opposed flow flame in a mesoscale channel was constructed to observe the flame stabilization behaviors at low strain rate conditions (<$10s^{-1}$). The purpose of this study is to get the overall flame behaviors of partially premixed flames with oxygen enhanced conditions at low strain rates. The oxygen ratio in oxidizer was changed from 18 to 30 %. Conclusively, the flame extinction limit approached to about $1s^{-1}$, and divided into three representative regimes corresponding to self propagating flame, transitional flame, quenching flame regimes.

WSGGM with gray gas regrouping is successfully applied to study the flame structure of opposed flow flames including effect of radiative transfer. The statistical narrow band model is used to obtain the benchmark solutions. Results obtained by using the optically thin model are shown to overestimate the emission and to predict the flame structures inadequately especially for optically thick and low stretch rate flames. Computed results by using the WSGGM with 10 gray gases and SNB model show reasonable agreements with each other, and the required calculation time for the WSGGM is acceptable for engineering applications.

The characteristics of opposed nonpremixed tubular flames with radiation heat loss are investigated using linear stability analysis and 2-D numerical simulations. Two extinction limits, as the $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ number is small or large, are confirmed using finite difference method with a simple continuation method. It is verified that the results of linear stability analysis predict the number of flame cells and the critical Da starting cellular instability or amplification of temperature near both extinction limits with good resolution.

Various researches are being conducted to reduce greenhouse gases generated by the consumption of traditional energy resources. This study was conducted to numerically analyze the combustion characteristics and N-S reaction behavior with respect to the H₂ content of syngas composed of CO and H₂ in pressurized air combustion. A non-premixed opposed flow flame model was applied a modified detailed mechanism with S-chemistry was developed based on GRI 3.0 to simulate the syngas reaction. As the hydrogen content increased, the flame thickness increased due to the fast reactivity of hydrogen. In the rich region, NO and SO₂ were reduced by reaction with H radical and H bonding of NO was suppressed by the formation of HOSO.

WSGGM based low-resolution spectral model for calculating radiation transfer in combustion gases is applied to estimate self-absorption of radiation energy in one-dimensional opposed flow flames. Development of such a model is necessary in order to enable detailed chemistry-radiation interaction calculations including self-absorption. Database of band model parameters which can be applied to various one-dimensional opposed flow diffusion and partially premixed flames is created. For the validation of the model and database, low resolution spectral intensities at fuel exit side are calculated and compared with the results of a narrow band model with those based on the Curtis-Godson approximation. Good agreements have been found between them. The resulting radiation model is coupled to the OPPDIF code to calculate the self-absorption of radiant energy and compared with the results of an optically thin calculation and the results of a discrete ordinates method in conjunction with the statistical narrow band model. Significant self-absorption of radiation is found for the flames considered here particularly for the fuel side of the reacting zone. However, the self-absorption does not have significant effects on the flame structure in this case. Even in the case of the low velocity diffusion flame and the partially premixed flame of low equivalence ratio, the effects of self-absorption of radiation on the flame temperature and production of minor species are not significant.
