Experimental and numerical investigation of premixed acetylene flame
In this paper, the mean velocity, turbulence intensity and temperature profiles in different cross-sections of premixed acetylene flame are given. A mathematical model for prediction of velocity, temperature and concentration fields of axisymmetric free premixed turbulent flame is presented in this paper. A second-order closure for turbulent reacting flows is used. Special attentions is paid to model behavior with the respect to the prediction correlation coefficients of turbulent diffusion of the scalar components. Conditional and unconditional statistics of the LDA signals were performed using jet and/or air seed. Compared to commonly used unconditional statistics, conditional statistics of velocity fluctuations can give us more data about intensity of turbulent mixing in the flame. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
