The effect of pressure on lean premixed hydrogen-air flames

Martin Rieth et al.

Summary: The effect of pressure on lean premixed hydrogen-air flame propagation is investigated numerically, revealing the amplification of thermo-diffusive instability and turbulent-to-laminar burning velocity ratio with increasing pressure. The amplification is attributed to the combined effects of reaction front geometry induced by stretch, chemical kinetics, and flame speed/thickness sensitivity to preferential diffusion. High-pressure flames display stronger sensitivity to fast molecular diffusion of hydrogen and can be approximated by matching key parameters (Leeff, Ze, Ma, Pe) at different conditions. This finding suggests that the observed flame speed enhancement at elevated pressure is determined by the flame's sensitivity to preferential diffusion rather than the pressure itself.

Local flame displacement speeds of hydrogen-air premixed flames in moderate to intense turbulence

Yuvraj et al.

Summary: The study investigates the effect of high Karlovitz number turbulence on density-weighted flame displacement speed in H-2-air flames, revealing that flame-flame interactions in regions of large negative curvature govern large deviations of flame displacement speed. In intense turbulent flames characterized by large Ka, flame displacement speed enhancement is predominantly governed by local interactions of the isotherms. Enhancement in flame displacement speed in regions of large negative curvature occurs as a result of these interactions, indicating that the interaction model is useful for high Ka turbulent premixed flames as well.

Intrinsic instabilities in premixed hydrogen flames: parametric variation of pressure, equivalence ratio, and temperature. Part 2-Non-linear regime and flame speed enhancement

Lukas Berger et al.

Summary: The propensity of lean premixed hydrogen flames to develop intrinsic instabilities is studied in this research. It is found that apart from hydrodynamic instability, lean premixed hydrogen flames are prone to thermodiffusive instabilities, which result in significant flame front wrinkling and chaotic formation and destruction of cellular structures. The stability analysis and long-term dynamics of these flames reveal local extinction events, peaks of reaction rates, sub- and super-adiabatic temperatures, and variations of flame thickness. The propensity of intrinsic instabilities increases with decreasing equivalence ratio or unburned temperature, and increasing pressure, particularly at high pressures relevant to combustion applications. The study also assesses the effects of global flame parameters on flame speed enhancement and finds a strong correlation between flame speed enhancement and maximum growth rates of perturbed flames.

Intrinsic instabilities in premixed hydrogen flames: Parametric variation of pressure, equivalence ratio, and temperature. Part 1-Dispersion relations in the linear regime

Lukas Berger et al.

Summary: The impact of intrinsic combustion instabilities on lean premixed hydrogen flames is studied through numerical simulations. It is found that lean premixed hydrogen flames are prone to thermodiffusive instabilities, which result in significant flame front wrinkling and a chaotic process of cellular structure formation and destruction. The growth rates of perturbation amplitude, obtained from the initial linear phase, are used to measure the strength of the intrinsic instability mechanisms, and variations in equivalence ratio, unburned temperature, and pressure are found to enhance the growth rates. The results highlight the importance of understanding and controlling instabilities in lean hydrogen flames for various combustion devices.

Turbulent flame speed and reaction layer thickening in premixed jet flames at constant Karlovitz and increasing Reynolds numbers

Antonio Attili et al.

Summary: A series of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) were conducted to investigate the enhancement of turbulent flame speed and modifications to the reaction layer structure associated with the systematic increase of the integral scale of turbulence. It was found that the turbulent flame speed increases in the streamwise direction for each flame and across flames for increasing Reynolds number, in line with a corresponding increase of the turbulent integral scale. This suggests that a continuous increase in the size of the largest scales of turbulence might be responsible for progressively stronger modifications of the flame's inner layers.

Statistics of local and global flame speed and structure for highly turbulent H2/air premixed flames

Wonsik Song et al.

Summary: The statistical analysis of turbulent hydrogen-air premixed flames at various Karlovitz numbers reveals that the global turbulent flame speed is mostly determined by the integral length scale, with flame surface area enhancement playing a key role. Probability density function analysis of displacement speed shows that the highest probability of local flame speed coincides with one-dimensional unstretched flame speed.

Summary: The study reveals the impact of flame curvature and preferential diffusion of H2 on local equivalence ratio, which in turn affects NO formation in NH3/H2/N2-air flames. The formation of NO is found to be influenced by local equivalence ratio and radical pools, with differences between H2-depleted and H2-enriched regions of the flame front across a wide range of equivalence ratios.

Summary: This study analyzed laminar premixed flame profiles of methane/air flames and strained flames under different fuel/air ratios and strain rates using detailed chemistry with Lewis numbers equal to one. It was found that the flame profiles in canonically stretched coordinates can be accurately fitted by a slight generalization of analytical presumed flame profiles, and strained flame profiles could be reproduced using an additional linear coordinate transformation to emulate the compression of the preheat zone by strain as predicted by premixed flame theory.

A review on ammonia, ammonia-hydrogen and ammonia-methane fuels

Wai Siong Chai et al.

Summary: The combustion of fuels for energy generation is crucial for human activities, but it results in emissions that cause environmental complications and health risks. The replacement of conventional fuels for zero carbon emission is important, with ammonia offering advantages over hydrogen as a carbon-free fuel, but facing challenges such as low burning velocity and high emissions. Therefore, the study of secondary fuels like hydrogen and methane to assist ammonia combustion is essential.
