Abstract

In the study of self-ignition during pressurized hydrogen release, the morphology of the rupture disk alters the flow and mixing processes of the gas jet, as well as the development of shock waves, thereby affecting the occurrence of self-ignition. This study employs the LES method based on the RNG-SGS model, EDC model, and NUIMech1.1 H2 combustion mechanism to investigate the flow mixing, shock wave development, and self-ignition phenomena under three different the rupture disk morphologies. The research findings indicate that as the growth trend of the rupture disk rupture ratio increases, the propagation speed of shock waves within the tube and the compression speed of the air and hydrogen-air mixing region accelerate, resulting in an earlier occurrence of self-ignition. A more complex rupture morphology leads to higher mixing rates between hydrogen and air and increased complexity of shock waves. Self-ignition initially occurs in the fuel-lean region of the boundary layer, followed by ignition at the center of the tube. The characteristic number of rupture disk is proposed to describe its impact on the self-ignition time. The competitive relationship between the two elementary reaction pathways of oxygen influences the development of the flame.
