Premixed Flame Propagation and Morphology in a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber

Abstract: This work presents an experimental and numerical investigation of premixed flame propagation in a constant volume rectangular channel with an aspect ratio of six (6) that serves as a combustion chamber. Ignition is followed by an accelerating cusped finger-shaped flame-front. A deceleration of the flame is followed by the formation of a "tulip"-shaped flame-front. Eventually, the flame is extinguished when it collides with the cold wall on the opposite channel end. Numerical computations are performed to under… Show more

“…These cusp-shaped "tulip" flames maintain their shapes as they propagate towards each other until they finally meet at the center of the channel (Figure 2f) where they annihilate one another, see Wichman and Vance (1997). The structural evolution occurring during CV combustion in the 2-spark configuration is very similar to that observed in the single spark ignition, as described in Hariharan and Wichman (2014). We now discuss some of the details of this combustion process.…”

“…Various explanations for the formation of tulip flames have been hypothesized, such as Darrieus-Landau and Taylor Instabilities by Clanet and Searby (1996), Gonzales et al (1992), N'Konga et al (1993), Matalon and McGreevy (1994), and Dold and Joulin (1995). The work of Hariharan and Wichman (2014) shed light on this explanation. The interaction of the propagating flame front with its numerous, discrete, self-generated pressure waves was studied by Guenoche (1964).…”
