Porous media combustion has the advantages of high combustion efficiency and low pollutant emissions. However, there are few studies on the combustion characteristics and pollutant emissions of highpower porous media combustion chambers and fire tubes. Based on the computational fluid dynamics method, the stable combustion characteristics and pollutant emission rules of methane-air were explored in a high-power porous media combustion chamber of 800−1200 kW. The results show that the combustion of the porous media combustor is stabilized at an inlet velocity of 0.8−1.6 m/s with an equivalence ratio of Φ = 0.5−0.9. The high-power porous medium combustor has the highest limiting temperature at Φ = 0.7. Temperature increases gradually with increasing porosity within the −2.5 to 1 m axial center interval. The outlet radial temperature distribution tends to be uniform with the increase of porosity, and the outlet temperature is highest for porous media with a thickness of 400 mm. NO emission was lowest at an inlet velocity of 1.2 m/s. A significant reduction in NO emissions was observed with increasing equivalence ratio. NO generation increases with increasing porosity at porosities between 0.75 and 0.85. NO generation increases with the thickness of the porous media and increases sharply at 600 mm. The results above can provide guidelines for the design of a high-efficiency high-power porous combustor.
