Abstract
Using reported data collected in turbulent jet nonpremixed flames near extinction, various parameters are derived to characterize the structure of the flames as they approach blowoff. The fuels considered are CH 4, H 2, H 2 Ar , and CO/H 2/N 2. The data used consist of velocity and turbulence measurements using the LDA technique and measurements of temperature, species mass fractions, and mixture fraction using the spontaneous Raman-Rayleigh scattering technique. Flames of H 2 Ar and CO/H 2/N 2 fuels exhibit a monomodal behavior in the pdfs of their reactive scalars as they approach extinction while those of CH 4 flames are bimodal. The parameters controlling this behavior are the width of the reaction zone, Δξ R and the scalar scale of turbulence Σ ξ . It is found that this behavior is only slightly affected by Σ ξ and is mainly dependent on Δξ R . Further investigations of other fuels with a range of Δξ R are recommended.
