Abstract
Differential interference contrast method was applied to investigate the flickering characteristics of V-flame in terms of both temporal and spatial scales. The flow characteristics of incident premixed combustibles were measured by means of laser Doppler anemometry (LDA). The characteristics of wake flow behind the stabilizing rod were obtained with numerical simulation. While the integral temporal scale of incident turbulence is about 1ms, the integral spatial scale about 2 mm, the characteristic flickering time scale is about 83 ms and spatial scale about 10 mm. The flame flickering frequency is more than 12 Hz, does not comply with the wake vortex shedding frequency, which is about 110 Hz. It is well-known that the flickering of V-flame is affected by both the incident turbulence and the wake flow after the stabilizing rod, but the result of the paper shows that the relationship between flickering characteristics and flow characteristics is much more complicated by the chemical reaction.
