Abstract

Experimental and numerical simulation results are presented for the first time of H2 fueled non-premixed cellular tubular flames. Non-intrusive measurements of temperature and major species were obtained with Raman scattering. Numerical simulations were performed with a 2D fully-implicit primitive variable finite difference code that includes multicomponent transport and detailed chemical kinetics. Good agreement is found for all flame cases. The experimental cell temperatures and the shapes of the flame cells are well predicted. Less significant discrepancies are observed in the character of the extinction zones and are discussed. Overall, non-premixed cellular tubular flames are found to be valuable experimental and numerical targets for fundamental combustion research.
