Specificities of Rich Spray-Flame Spreading
Résumé
This study concerns two-phase flame propagating through a 2D-lattice of alkane droplets surrounded by a gaseous pre-mixture of alkane air. Spray flame speed is numerically measured for spray compositions. To study such very heterogeneous media, the retained chemical scheme is a global irreversible one step reaction governed by Arrhenius law, with a modified heat of reaction depending on local equivalence ratio. Studied sprays are globally rich. For global equivalence ratio greater than 1.4, and lattice spacing large enough, the presence of droplets promotes combustion (in comparison with single phase flame dynamics). When the vapor pressure becomes important, droplets do not participate to combustion. These numerical results are in qualitative good agreement with recent experimental contributions on spray combustion.
