“…Use this part of data to build a 3-D motion model of substances in the burner. According to the use requirements of the burner [10], the unstructured network is used as the grid division calculation, the grid size is set to 20 mm, and the number of grids is about 550000. The primary air inlet and secondary air inlet in the burner have a direct impact on the dynamic field of the burner.…”

The numerical simulation method is mostly used to analyze the gas-solid two-phase hydrodynamics of swirl burner, ignoring the simulation of boundary conditions of swirl burner, resulting in poor simulation effect. To solve this problem, a CFD based study on the hydrodynamic characteristics of swirl burner is proposed. The physical model of swirl burner is constructed by using FLUENT software. The particle concentration of the burner is calculated, and the Lagrange motion function of gas-solid two-phase flow is established to obtain the boundary conditions of the swirling burner and simulate the gas-solid two-phase flow. The motion equation of swirl burner is constructed, the dynamic characteristics are analyzed, and the dynamic equation is derived. The experimental results show that the swirl burner has less response and better performance under the impact of rolling direction.

“…One of the hot topics is its application in internal combustion engines, such as spark ignition engine [4], compression ignition engines [5] attributing to its high octane number and suitable burning velocity. Recent studies aims the application of methanol in gas turbines [6,7,8,9], especially as an alternative marine fuel [10,11]. To promote the performance of a combustion system, methanol fuel reforming is an attractive option.…”

“…Within 30 mm from the injector exit, secondary breakup occurs where the ligaments are disintegrated into fine droplets. Agwu et al [21] utilized the typical pressure-swirl atomizer to combust glycerol. The strategy they adopted is the alteration of fuel properties via blending with high portion of methanol.…”

“…The OH* radicals in hydrocarbon combustion are mainly generated via the reactions: (i) O+H+M→OH*+M (R1), O+H2→H+OH* (R2), H+O2→O+OH* (R3) and H+HO2→ OH*+OH* (R4)[5]. Reaction R1 dominates the OH* generation for the highly oxygenated glycerol at the center spray region due to the dissociation of molecular oxygen into atomic oxygen during reaction[21]. The relatively intense flame region near the spray outlet may be attributed to the effect of fuel physical properties of lower volatility that delays the droplet evaporation, thereby extending the reaction rate downstream of the atomizer outlet.…”
