Experimental Study of the Flowfield of a V-Shaped Premixed Turbulent Flame

摘要

The flowfield of a V-shaped, premixed ethylene/air flame in grid induced turbulence has been studied using Laser Doubler Velocimetry. The experimental conditions covered free-stream velocities of 5 and 7 m/s and equivalence ratios ranging from 0.6 to 0.78. The two-dimensional velocity vectors obtained indicate that flow deflection in the free stream was significant and seemed to correlate with the flame angle. The influence of the flame holder wake on the flame was demonstrated. In the presence of the flame, an increase in the turbulence level in the free stream was found and was attributed to fluctuations in flow deflection induced by the fluctuating flame.
