“…In wider channels burning persists even in the extreme case of isothermal walls maintained at the temperature of the fresh mixture, but the flame survives only near the center of the channel. The dead-space corresponding to the distance near the walls where the flame is quenched can be as large as 6l f in accord with experimentally reported values [80,81]. For sufficiently large values of d, the walls have a very limited influence on the flame, which then propagates at a speed close to the laminar flame speed.…”

This lecture describes recent theoretical developments associated with the dynamics of flames, obtained primarily by exploiting the various temporal and length scales involved in the combustion process. In premixed flames the focus is on flame-flow interactions that occur during the nonlinear development of hydrodynamically unstable large-scale flames, or during the propagation of curved flames in two-dimensional channels. The second part of the paper deals with non-premixed and partially premixed flames, where the focus is on understanding the nature of diffusive-thermal instabilities including the effect of thermal expansion, and on stabilization mechanisms of edge flames, which possess characteristics of both premixed and diffusion flames. The results presented in this talk illustrate how simplified models, when analyzed to their extreme, yield predictions of qualitative nature with physical insight that have advanced our understanding of combustion. This insight can be used to guide the experimental efforts, explain observations and validate large-scale numerical simulations.

“…Due to the complexity of the coupling between chemical reaction, heat release and fluid dynamics, FWI has been investigated primarily based on three generic quenching configurations: head-on quenching (HOQ) with flame propagating to the wall at a normal angle (Hocks et al 1981;Westbrook et al 1981;Vosen et al 1985;Ezekoye et al 1992;Poinsot et al 1993;Ezekoye & Greif 1993;Wichman & Bruneaux 1995;Popp et al 1996;Bruneaux et al 1996;Popp & Baum 1997;Bruneaux et al 1997;Ezekoye 1998;Enomoto 2001;Foucher et al 2003;Bellenoue et al 2003;Boust et al 2007;Sotton et al 2007;Mann et al 2014;Lai & Chakraborty 2016a,b), side-wall quenching (SWQ) in which flame propagates parallel to the wall (Krmn & Milln 1953;Clendening et al 1981;Cheng et al 1981;Ng et al 1982;Saffman 1984;Lu et al 1991;Ezekoye et al 1992;Ezekoye & Greif 1993;Zhang et al 1996;Alshaalan & Rutland 1998;Andrae et al 2002;Enomoto 2002;Bellenoue et al 2003;Boust et al 2007;Tayebi et al 2008;Gruber et al 2010) and total quenching occurring in a tube with sufficiently small diameter (Putnam & Jensen 1948;Jarosiski 1983;Fairchild et al 1985;Jarosins...…”

Analysis of the flame–wall interaction in premixed turbulent combustion

The present work focuses on the flame–wall interaction (FWI) based on direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a head-on premixed flame quenching configuration at the statistically stationary state. The effects of FWI on the turbulent flame temperature, wall heat flux, flame dynamics and flow structures were investigated. In turbulent head-on quenching, particularly for high turbulence intensity, the distorted flames generally consist of the head-on flame part and the entrained flame part. The flame properties are jointly influenced by turbulence, heat generation from chemical reactions and heat loss to the cold wall boundary. For the present FWI configuration, as the wall is approached, the ‘influence zone’ can be identified as the region within which the flame temperature, scalar gradient and flame dilatation start to decrease, whereas the wall heat flux tends to increase. As the distance to the wall drops below the flame-quenching distance, approximately where the wall heat flux reaches its maximum value, chemical reactions become negligibly weak inside the ‘quenching zone’. A simplified counter-flow model is also proposed. With the reasonably proposed relation between the flame speed and the flame temperature, the model solutions match well with the DNS results, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Moreover, near-wall statistics of some important flame properties, including the flame dilatation, reaction progress variable gradient, tangential strain rate and curvature were analysed in detail under different wall boundary conditions.

“…For channel flame propagation parallel to the wall, two modes of flame extinction are known to exist. In sufficiently wide channels, partial extinction of the flame in the near-wall region occurs, typically over a region around six times the laminar flame thickness (Clendening, Shackleford & Hilyard 1981;Daou & Matalon 2002). In narrower channels total flame quenching can occur (Lewis & von Elbe 1961).…”

The influence of thermal expansion on the dynamics of thick to moderately thick premixed flames (flame thickness less than or comparable to the channel height) for a variable-density flow in a narrow, rectangular channel is explored. The study is conducted within the framework of the zero-Mach-number, variable-density Navier–Stokes equations. Both adiabatic and non-adiabatic channel walls are considered. A small Péclet number asymptotic solution is developed for steady, variable-density flame propagation in the narrow channel. The dynamics of channel flames are also examined numerically for O(1) Péclet numbers in configurations which include flame propagation in a semi-closed channel from the closed to the open end of the channel, flame propagation in a semi-closed channel towards the closed end of the channel and flame propagation in an open channel in which a Poiseuille flow (flame assisting or flame opposing) is imposed at the channel inlet. Comparisons of the finite-Péclet-number dynamics are made with the behaviour of the small-Péclet-number solutions. We also compare how thermal expansion modifies the flow dynamics from those determined by a constant-density model. The small-Péclet-number variable-density solution for a flame propagating in a circular pipe is given in the Appendix.
