Abstract

Lewis's experimental investigation of the impact of centrifugal acceleration on flame propagation speed posed a novel concept that could shorten combustion chamber length and improve the thrust-to-weight ratio. This work implemented the large-eddy simulation (LES) of air-propane premixed combustion in a closed pipe under centrifugal acceleration on the OpenFOAM software platform. First, using the moving reference frame (MRF) method, the cold flow mixture in the rotating tube was investigated. Then, the combustion of the resulting air-propane mixture at specific centrifugal accelerations (expressed in g) is simulated. Five different cases were considered, including one case without rotation and four cases with centrifugal accelerations of 395 g, 1000 g, 3000 g, and 4000 g. The flame surface wrinkling, a key parameter in premixed combustion, was studied along the longitudinal axis and in the radial direction. For centrifugal acceleration up to 3000 g, the flame surface wrinkling and flame propagation speed raised, but with increasing centrifugal acceleration, these parameters decreased. By investigating the temperature gradient along the longitudinal axis of the pipe, the maximum value occurred in the 4000 g case. The produced pressure wave in the tube was also studied by investigating the instantaneous pressure gradient contour and concluding that the reflected pressure wave does not collide with the flame surface between the flame speed measurement locations.
离心加速度对空气-丙烷预混燃烧影响的大涡模拟
Lewis对离心加速度对火焰传播速度影响的实验研究提出了缩短燃烧室长度和提高推重比的新概念。本文在OpenFOAM软件平台上实现了密闭管道内空气-丙烷预混燃烧在离心加速作用下的大涡模拟。首先,采用移动参考框架(MRF)方法,对旋转管内的冷流动混合物进行了研究。然后,模拟得到的空气-丙烷混合物在特定离心加速度(以g表示)下的燃烧。考虑了五种不同的情况,包括一种没有旋转的情况和四种离心加速度分别为395 g, 1000 g, 3000 g和4000 g的情况。对火焰表面起皱这一预混燃烧的关键参数进行了纵向和径向研究。当离心加速度达到3000 g时,火焰表面起皱和火焰传播速度增大,但随着离心加速度的增大,这些参数减小。通过研究沿管道纵轴的温度梯度,最大值出现在4000g的情况下。通过对瞬时压力梯度轮廓的研究,研究了管内产生的压力波,得出了在火焰速度测量位置之间反射的压力波不与火焰表面碰撞的结论。
