CAE Supported Ornamental Flame Product Design—Vortex Flow Guiding with Fuel Lift Mechanism

Abstract

The vortex flame design process was investigated. Combine qualitative and CAE (computer-aided engineering) simulation proposed to fulfill the functional requirement. Guidance channel can produce an ornamental flame with acceptable height. The lift mechanism comprises a supporting member and bearing and allows moving to the predetermined height. It allows a user to add fuel and cleaning base parts safely. Rigid body linkage and flow field simulated enables fine tune of geometric parameters. Functional test and measurement are carried out to confirm the product features. The measured average temperature of the metal chassis is 37.25 °C, and that of glass is 141 °C.
