Dynamic Behavior of a Freely-Propagating Turbulent Premixed Flame under Global Stretch-Rate Oscillations

Résumé

Dynamic features of a freely propagating turbulent premixed flame under global stretch rate oscillations were investigated by utilizing a jet-type low-swirl burner equipped with a high-speed valve on the swirl jet line. The bulk flow velocity, equivalence ratio and the nominal mean swirl number were 5†m/s, 0.80 and 1.23, respectively. Seven velocity forcing amplitudes, from 0.09 to 0.55, were examined with a single forcing frequency of 50†Hz. Three kinds of optical measurements, OH-PLIF, OH* chemiluminescence and PIV, were conducted. All the data were measured or post-processed in a phase-locked manner to obtain phase-resolved information. The global transverse stretch rate showed in-phase oscillations centering around 60 (1/s). The oscillation amplitude of the stretch rate grew with the increment of the forcing amplitude. The turbulent flame structure in the core flow region varied largely in axial direction in response to the flowfield oscillations. The flame brush thickness and the flame surface area oscillated with a phase shift to the stretch rate oscillations. These two properties showed a maximum and minimum values in the increasing and decreasing stretch periods, respectively, for all the forcing amplitudes. Despite large variations in flame brush thickness at different phase angles, the normalized profiles collapse onto a consistent curve. This suggests that the self-similarity sustains in this dynamic flame. The global OH* fluctuation response (i.e. response of global heat-release rate fluctuation) showed a linear dependency to the forcing velocity oscillation amplitudes. The flame surface area fluctuation response showed a linear tendency as well with a slope similar to that of the global OH* fluctuation. This indicated that the flame surface area variations play a critical role in the global flame response.
