Numerical Study on the Influence of Jet Velocity to Hydrogen Lifted Flames
摘要
The combustion process of hydrogen jet lifted flames involves complex processes, such as hydrogen diffusion mixing, flame stability, and local self-ignition. Numerical study of hydrogen lifted flame is of great significance for deep understanding of the fuel diffusion characteristics, flame-turbulence interactions in the combustion process. In this paper, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and the Flame-let Generated Manifold (FGM) model, combined with detailed reaction mechanisms and unstructured hybrid grid, are employed to conduct numerical simulations of a turbulent lifted H2/N2 jet flame within a vitiating co-flow environment. The effect of jet velocity on flame lift-off characteristics is analyzed. The results indicate that: (1) The predicted temperature field, mixture fraction, and OH distribution agree well with experimental data and related simulations; (2) For different jet velocities (96 m/s, 107 m/s, 117 m/s and 170 m/s), the flame lift-off height increases with rising jet velocity.
