The DNS employed the full time-dependent compressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a one-step chemical reaction governed by the Arrhenius kinetics. Detailed study of combustion-induced pressure effects on turbulence generation, conserved scalar, and stagnation enthalpy transport was conducted. Local countergradient diffusion (CGD) of a conserved scalar flux was observed for the first time in a diffusion flame where heat release was strong enough while gradient diffusion prevailed when heat release was zero or weak. The CGD occurred in spite of the absence of an externally imposed mean pressure gradient and was attributed to combustion-induced pressure fluctuations. The balance of the turbulent kinetic energy budget was strongly influenced by the pressure dilatation and the (combustion-induced) mean pressure work when heat release was strong. Both terms can be a source or a sink of turbulence, depending on the intricate interactions between turbulence and combustion. However, the temporal change in pressure <em>ϱp/ϱt</em> had an insignificant influence on the stagnation enthalpy transport. A linear relation between the stagnation enthalpy and the mixture fraction was confirmed, which could lead to considerable simplification in modeling high-speed turbulent combustion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101203,"journal":{"name":"Symposium (International) on Combustion","volume":"27 2","pages":"Pages 2165-2171"},"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)80065-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"112963113","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}

The mean flow is well predicted, whereas the prediction of turbulence quantities is less satisfactory. Calculated results for flame propagation are in good agreement with measurements. NO concentrations resulting from calculations are close to those measured, both in respect to their spatial distribution and absolute number densities. As could be expected, the highest NO concentrations are found in regions where combustion started earliest. Local concentrations of NO are found be up to 4 times higher than those in the exhaust. The comparison of experimental results with calculations clearly shows that, although the 3-D computer model can predict major features of the in-cylinder processes in agreement with measurements, details such as the exact flow pattern and flame development are difficult to capture and depend critically on some of the models parameters used.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101203,"journal":{"name":"Symposium (International) on Combustion","volume":"27 2","pages":"Pages 2085-2092"},"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)80055-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"112315749","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-dimensional temperature measurements by the laser Rayleigh scattering method and numerical computations taking into account detailed chemical kinetics are conducted, paying attention to transient local extinction and reginition in relation to the unsteadiness, flame curvature, and preferential diffusion effects. The results are as follows: (1) Transient local flame extinction is observed where the micro jet impinges. However, the transient flame can survive instantaneously in squite of quite high stretch rate where the steady flame cannot exist. (2) Reignition is observed after the local extinction due to the micro air jet impingement. the temperature after reignition becomes significantly higher than that of the original flame. This high temperature is induced by the concentration of H₂ species due to the preferential diffusion in relation to the concave curvature. The predicted behaviors of the local transient extinction and reignition are well confirmed by the experiments. (3) The reignition is induced after the formation of combustible premixed gas mixture and the consequent flame propagation. (4) The reignition is hardly observed after the extinction by micro fuel jet impingement. This is due to the dilution of H₂ species induced by the preferential diffusion in relation to the convex curvature.

The tube and orifice diameter used in the study are 27.3 cm and 10 cm, respectively. The test gas used is hydrogen-air at 1 atmosphere and at various initial temperatures up to 650 K. Immediately after the orifice, the detonation wave decouples and either fails or reinitiates. The reinitiation process is characterized by either spontaneous initiation, initiation due to shock reflection, or deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT). In the case of DDT, transition is preceded by the degeneration of the decoupled detonation wave to a velocity consistent with a CJ deflagration. Delineation between these various propagation regimes could not be correlated with the detonation cell size, λ, and orifice diameter, <em>d</em>. The data, although limited, demonstrate for the first time that the <em>d_c/λ</em>=13 critical tube criterion obtained at room temperature may not apply at elevated temperature conditions. The evidence for this is data obtained at 500 K that shows no detonation transmission for 30% hydrogen in air that corresponds to <em>d/λ</em>=16.7.

Exploiting the realistic limit of small values of the gas-to-liquid density ratio <em>p</em>, analytical formulas for both neutral sability boundaries may be obtained by expanding all quatities in appropriate powers of <em>p</em> in each of three distinguished wave-number regimes. In particular, composite analytical expressions are derived for the neutral stability boundaries <em>A_p(k)</em>, where <em>A_p</em> is the pressure sensitivity of the burning rate and <em>k</em> is the wave number of the disturbance. For the cellular boundary, the results demonstrate explicitly the stabilizing effect of gravity on long-wave disturbances, the stabilizing effect of viscosity (both liquid and gas) and surface tension on short-wave perturbations, and the instability associated with intermediate wave numbers for negative values of <em>A_p</em>, which is characteristic of many hydroxylammoninum nitrate-based liquid propellants over certain pressure ranges. In contrast, the pulsating hydrodynamic stability boundary is insensitive to gravitational and surface-tension effects but is more sensitive to the effects of liquid viscosity because, for typical nonzero values of the latter, the pulsating boundary decreases to larger negative values of <em>A_p</em> as <em>k</em> increases through O(1) values. Thus, liquid-propellant combustion is predicted to be stable (that is, stealy and planar) only for a range of negative pressure sensitivities that lie below the cellular boundary that exists for sufficiently small negative values of A_<em>p</em> and above the pulsating boundary that exists for larger negative values of this parameter.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101203,"journal":{"name":"Symposium (International) on Combustion","volume":"27 2","pages":"Pages 2375-2386"},"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)80089-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"106785722","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}

The objective of the present study was to clarify this interesting behavior of ignition time by numerical analysis. We assumed that a heptane droplet array with a droplet diameter of 0.75 to 1.25 mm and spacing of 4 to 20 mm was immersed in hot air with a temperature of 1123 K at time zero. The unsteady equation set for the array system was solved numerically by means of the finite-difference method. The results showed that ignition times became shorter than that of a single droplet as the droplet spacing decreased and that ignition times increased rapidly when the spacing further decreased. These ignition time behaviors were consistent with experimental results. Time-dependent temperature distributions indicated that the first ignition position(s) was located between droplets when the ignition time was less than that of a single droplet. When the spacing was smaller, an intense reaction region surrounded the array as a cylindrical tube. The basic mechanism of the shorter ignition time of a droplet array is a slight decrease of the vaporized fuel mass flux due to the suppression of the increase in droplet surface temperature in the array.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101203,"journal":{"name":"Symposium (International) on Combustion","volume":"27 2","pages":"Pages 1959-1966"},"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)80040-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"94416224","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}
