By using numerical simulation, it was found that ozone has multiple effects on lean premixed syngas turbulent flame. It increases the flame surface area, promotes the ignition process, accelerates the generation of intermediate products, and affects the flame surface morphology.
Due to its enhancement in the flame speed, ozone added in lean premixed syngas turbulent jet flame was investigated by the three-dimensional direct numerical simulation method in the near field of the flame. In the present study, numerical simulations were conducted in the lean premixed syngas turbulent jet flame configuration to explore the effects of ozone addition on freely-propagating turbulent flames. It was seen that turbulence began to significantly affect the flame surface to produce wrinkles in lean premixed gas flame with ozone added after 4D; ozone started to affect the composition field and temperature field after 8D; it accelerated the generation of intermediate products, OH and O radicals; and it will promote the production of CO2 in the near field range. Ozone will increase the flame surface area of the lean premixed syngas flame during the ignition period and can promote the ignition process and make the combustion occur earlier. The flame surface of the case with ozone added is more easily stretched by turbulence, and ozone can improve the stability of combustion. Ozone does not affect the effective radius of the flame curvature but will broaden the distribution of the curvature term because of the enhancement effect on the displacement speed of the flame surface.
