Vortices having sufficiently high normal velocity can pass through the flame by extinguishing it locally. In several circumstances they deform the flame surface significantly before attaining extinction conditions. The development of curvature on the flame surface, especially in hydrogen flames, could lead to different quenching patterns. An experimental/numerical investigation is performed to explore possible quenching patterns in opposing-jet diffusion flames. A diluted hydrogen-nitrogen mixture is used as the fuel. Vortices are driven toward the flame surface with different velocities from the air side. The changes in the structure of the flame during its interaction with the incoming vortex are recorded by measuring instantaneous OH-concentration field using the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. A time-dependent CFDC code that incorporates 13 species and 74 reactions is used for the simulation of these vortex-flame interactions. Both the experiments and calculations have identified two types of quenching patterns: namely, point and annular. It is found that when an air-side vortex is forced toward the flame at a relatively high speed, then the flame at the stagnation line quenches, resulting in a well-known point-quenching pattern. On the other hand, when the vortex is forced at a moderate speed, the flame surface deforms significantly, and quenching develops in an annular ring away from the stagnation line, resulting in an unusual annular-quenching pattern. Detailed analyses performed just before the development of annular quenching and 1 ms later suggest that this unusual annular quenching did not result from the strain rate. Based on the understanding gained from previous investigations on curvature effects in coaxial hydrogen jet flames and the findings made in the present study, it is argued that such quenching develops as a result of the combined effect of preferential diffusion and flame curvature.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101203,"journal":{"name":"Symposium (International) on Combustion","volume":"27 1","pages":"Pages 587-594"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0082-0784(98)80450-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"95166718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two regions of fullerenes formation are identified in this flame. The First formation region occurs early in the flame simultaneously with PAH consumption. The rate of PAH consumption is more than large enough to account for the obsered rate of fullerenes formation, so this formation region may involve reactions of PAH. The Second region, which accounts for most of the fullerenes mass produced in the flame, occurs later in the flame and is more consistent with stepwise acetylene addtion to fullerene precursors. In both regions, fullerenes consumption that may involve reactions between fullerenes and soot is observed. In addition, measurements indicate that the different PAHs grow roughly simultaneously, reach a peak concentration, and decay together in a consumption process that occurs at the same time as a rapid rise in soot mass concentration early in the flame.
