In this paper the numerical method is adopted to predict the combustion recirculating flow behind flame-holders. A modified k-ε 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
