Two Dimensional Numerical Simulation Of Highly-Strained Hydrogen-Air Opposed Jet Laminar Diffusion Flames, Kyu C. Hwang Apr 2003

Two Dimensional Numerical Simulation Of Highly-Strained Hydrogen-Air Opposed Jet Laminar Diffusion Flames, Kyu C. Hwang

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

In this study, a detailed 2-D numerical technique is utilized to investigate the structure, and flame extinction and restoration characteristics of laminar hydrogen-air opposed jet diffusion flames, using both plug (uniform) and parabolic inflow boundary conditions for 3 millimeter jet tubes, spaced 6 millimeters apart and imbedded in low velocity coflows.

First, by using the most recent of two chemical kinetic models, excellent agreement was obtained between calculated distributions of temperature and major species, and published UV laser Raman scattering measurements, for 50% and 100% hydrogen-air flames over a range of input strain rates. Agreement with measured OH profiles was …
