Caractérisation expérimentale des plissements à petite échelle dans une flamme turbulente prémélangée : effets de la pression

摘要

The present work is an experimental study on the interactions between flame and turbulence. The pressure effect on the flame front wrinkling is characterised using laser diagnostics and hot wire anemometry. To begin with, the turbulence generated by a multi-grid system is characterised. It is shown that the present system produces a higher turbulence rate by 40% than for an equivalent mesh single-grid system. Moreover, the small turbulence scales sizes are experimentally found smaller with the multi-grid system. From those results, the interactions between premixed flames and turbulence were studied. By using the laser tomography diagnostic, the flame front of several gases premixes was observed. By changing the mixing conditions, the effect of parameters such as the Lewis number, the turbulence conditions and the small scale was observed. The low impact of the thermodiffusives instabilities in our conditions was demonstrated. However, the important effect of the turbulence conditions on the flame front characteristics was observed. Moreover, the present results showed the major impact of the Taylor micro scale on the flame front wrinkling for these study experimental conditions.
