A Preliminary Calculation of the Combustion Recirculating Flow Behind Flame-Holders

In this paper the numerical method is adopted to predict the combustion recirculating flow behind flame-holders. A modified k-e turbulence model and Magnussen’s combustion model are employed. Becouse of the large variation of density in combustion flow field, the influences of variable density have been considered. The results predicted include: the combustion recirculating flow field and the flame spreading; the variation of recirculation length with equivalence ratio, and inlet velocity, etc. All of these are qualitatively good comparing with experimental results.Copyright © 1985 by ASME
