Synergy of turbulence and thermo-diffusive effects on the intermittent boundary-layer flashback of swirling flames
We simulated the intermittent boundary-layer flashback (BLF) of hydrogen-enriched swirling flames using large-eddy simulation (LES) with the flame-surface-density (FSD) method. Six cases of intermittent BLF, characterized by periodic flame entry and exit of the mixing tube, are presented. The intermittent BLF characteristics varied with the hydrogen volume fraction. Small flame bulges entered and exited the mixing tube in low hydrogen-enrichment cases. The duration of intermittent BLF events and BLF depth increased as the hydrogen content increased. Meanwhile, a large flame tongue penetrating deeply upstream characterized the highest hydrogen-enrichment case. The mean BLF peak depths and standard deviations obtained through simulations aligned well with experimental data for low and moderate hydrogen-enrichment cases. However, LES-FSD underestimated the average BLF peak depth for the highest hydrogen-enrichment case. Analysis of the flow-flame interaction revealed two mechanisms underlying the intermittent BLF phenomena. The flame bulges’ oscillation near the outlet is caused by the reverse flow induced by the recirculation zone. At the same time, the deep intermittent BLF occurs due to the boundary layer separation induced by the large turbulent burning velocity, resulting from the synergy of turbulence and thermo-diffusive effects.
