Propagation characteristics of tribrachial flames have been studied numerically in a two-dimensional fuel/oxidizer mixing layer. A flame is initiated by imposing a high temperature ignition source. Subsequent propagation of a tribrachial flame is traced. The flow redirection effect at the leading edge of a tribrachial flame increases the propagation speed beyond the corresponding stoichiometric laminar burning velocity. The effect of mixture fraction gradient on the propagation speed of a tribrachial flame is analyzed in a mixing layer considering that mixture fraction gradient increases as a tribrachial flame propagates toward upstream. As the flame curvature at the leading edge increases with decreasing mixture fraction gradient, the flow redirection effect becomes more pronounced on the flame propagation speed. As a result, the propagation speed of a tribrachial flame increases with decreasing mixture fraction gradient.

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.

가열된 동축류 공기에서 일산화탄소/수소의 층류 제트에 대한 자발화된 부상화염의 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과로 자발화가 발생하지 않는 영역에서는 제트속도의 증가에 따라 노즐부착화염에서 안정화된 층류 부상화염을 거치지 않고 바로 화염날림이 발생하였다. 자발화 영역에서, 질소 희석된 일산화탄소의 자발화된 부상화염은 산화제 내의 함유된 수분에 따른 점화지연시간의 변동으로 그 부상높이가 크게 영향을 받았다. 그리고 수소에 의한 저온 자발화 영역에서 자발화된 부상화염은 제트속도의 증가에 따라 부상높이가 감소하다가 증가하는 독특한 현상이 발생하였다. 점화지연시간에 의한 자발화된 층류 부상화염의 안정화 메커니즘을 기반으로, 그 부상높이의 거동은 점화 과정에서 발생하는 열손실의 영향뿐만 아니라 연료제트의 운동량과 질량의 선호 확산에 의하여 영향을 받을 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

An experimental study has been conducted to elucidate the effect of AC electric field on behaviors of laminar lifted flame in nitrogen-diluted methane coflow-jets. Our concerns are focued on the regime to show a decrease in liftoff height, $H_L$ with increasing nozzle exit velocity, $U_O$ (hereafter, $decreasing-H_L$). The $H_L$ with $U_O$ near flame extinction were measured by varying the applied AC voltage, $V_{AC}$ and frequency, $f_{AC}$ in a single electrode configuration. The behavior of $H_L$ with a functional dependency of $V_{AC}$ and $f_{AC}$ was categorized into two regime : (I) $H_L$ decreased for nozzle diameter, D = 1.0 mm, and (II) $H_L$ increased in the increase of $f_{AC}$ for a fixed $V_{AC}$ in a D = 4.0, 8.4 mm. The lifted flames in $decreasing-H_L$ region was unstable in high voltage regimes while the $H_L$ showed a decreasing tendency with $U_O$ except them. Such behaviors in $H_L$ were also characterized by functional dependencies of related physical parameters such as $V_{AC}$, $f_{AC}$, $U_O$, fuel mole fraction ($X_{F.O}$) and D.

Stability of laminar premixed planar flames inclined in gravitational field which generate vorticity is asymptotically examined. The flame structure is resolved by a large activation energy asymptotics and a long wave approximation. The coupling between hydrodynamics and diffusion processes is included and near-unity Lewis number is assumed. The results show that as the flame is more inclined from the horizontal plane it becomes more unstable due to not only the decrease of stabilizing effect of gravity but also the increase of destabilizing effect of rotational flow. The obtained dispersion relation involves the Prandtl number and shows the destabilizing effect of viscosity. The analysis predicts that the phase velocity of unstable flame wave depends on not only the flame angle but also the Lewis number. For relatively short wave disturbances, still much larger than flame thickness, the most unstable wavelength is nearly independent on the flame angle and the flame can be stabilized by gravity and diffusion mechanism.

Synthesis gas such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide was produced from $CH_4//oxygen$ mixture using two-section porous media combustor. Heat recirculation through the inner foam structure could extend the flow velocity of stable region over the laminar burning velocity. $H_2/CO$ ratio and module M from concentration of flue gas measured by Gas Chromatography was similar to those calculated by equilibrium. But it was made sure that the heat loss effect becomes more influential than heat recirculation effect as the mixture gets richer. To generate synthesis gas appropriate for methanol production, insulated pressurized porous media combustor will be designed and built in the future.

Unsteady behaviors of counterflow flame were studied experimentally in opposing jet counterflow burner using diluted methane. To generate the unsteadiness on the flame, the counterflow diffusion flame was perturbed by velocity changes made by the pistons installed on both sides of the air and fuel stream. The velocity changes were measured by Hot wire and Laser Doppler Velocimetry, and the flame behaviors were observed by High speed ICCD and ICCD. In this investigation, the spatial irregularity of the strain rate caused the flame to extinguish from the outside to the axis during the extinction, and we found the following unsteady phenomena. First, the extinction strain rates of unsteady cases are much larger than those of the steady ones. Second, the extinction strain rates become larger as the slope of the change of the strain rate increases. Third, the unsteady extinction strain rates become smaller with the increase of the initial strain rate.

Synthesis gas such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide was produced from $CH_4/oxygen$ mixture using insulated pressurized porous media combustor. Experimentally, two cylindrical SiC foams with the different pore density were piled up in a quartz tube and fully premixed mixture was supplied in the axial direction. After stabilizing fuel-rich flame at the interface of the two foams at several pressure conditions, mole fractions of synthesis gases were measured by gas chromatography. Heat recirculation through the inner foam structure could extend the flow velocity of stable region over the laminar burning velocity. As the pressure increased, the rich flammability limit, $H_2/CO$ ratio, and module M increased.

An experiment in a turbulent non-premixed flat flame was carried out in order to investigate the effect of swirl number on the flow and combustion characteristics. First. stream lines and velocity distribution in the flow field were obtained using PIV method. In contrast with the axial flow without swirl, highly swirled air induced stream lines along the burner tile. and backward flow was caused by recirculation in the center zone of the flow field. In the combustion. the flame with swirled air also became flat and stable along the burner tile with increment of the swirl number. Flame structure by measuring OH and CH radicals intensity and by calculating Damkohler number(Da) and turbulence Reynolds number(Re$_{T}$) was examined. It appeared to be comprised in the wrinkled laminar-flame regime. Backward flow by recirculation of the burned gas decreased the flame temperature and emissions concentrations as NO and CO. Consequently, the stable flat flame with low NO concentration was achieved.d.

This paper computes the bluff-body stabilized jet and flame. This study numerically investigates the nonpremixed $C_{2}H_{4}-air$ jet for the nonreacting case and the nonpremixed $CH_{3}OH-air$ turbulent flames for the reacting case using the laminar flamelet model on modified KIVA2 code. And this study predicts $NO_{x}$ formation characteristics using Eulerian Particle Flamelet Model. In the present study, the turbulent combustion model is applied to analyze both nonreacting and reacting case. And both standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and modified $k-{\varepsilon}$ model are used in nonreacting case. Calculations are compared with experimental data in terms of velocity, mixture fraction, mixture fraction Root Mean Square and Temperature. The present model correctly predicts the essential features of flame structures and $NO_{x}$ formation characteristics in the bluff-body stabilized flames.
