Abstract
The aim of this study was to delineate the unsteady fluid dynamics of the high-pressure hydrogen jet to clarify the relationship between the forced ignition position and the flame development characteristics in a high-pressure hydrogen jet leaking from a pinhole. The Navier–Stokes equation for a compressible multi-component gas was used to simulate a high-pressure (82 MPa stagnation pressure) unsteady hydrogen jet ejected into the atmosphere through a pinhole (diameter = 0.2 mm). The results indicated that the flapping jet at the base of the jet formed a cloud of highly concentrated hydrogen that flowed downstream. A correlation was observed between the spatio-temporal distribution of hydrogen concentration and velocity was observed. The unsteady high-pressure hydrogen jet obtained by simulation will be used in subsequent studies focusing on flame development under forced ignition.
