Axisymmetric numerical simulations are used to assess the swirl-induced stabilization of low-Mach-number non-premixed jet flames at a moderate Reynolds number (Re=200). Using a one-step model chemistry describing methane-air partially premixed combustion, we carry out a parametric investigation of the coupling between vortex breakdown and laminar flame liftoff/blowoff in a concentric jet configuration involving a central non-swirling methane jet surrounded by a swirling annular air jet issuing from a pipe with radius RA′ rotating with angular speed Ω′. The analysis considers order-unity values of the two relevant controlling parameters, namely, the Damköhler number DN, defined as the square of the ratio of the stoichiometric methane-air flame-propagation velocity to the mean air-jet velocity UA′, and the swirl number S=Ω′RA′/UA′. As the Damköhler number DN is decreased the attached edge flame lifts off from the injector rim. The resulting lifted triple flame migrates downstream on further decreasing DN until a critical blowoff value DN,b is reached. Results for fixed S=1 exhibit lower values DN,b than the corresponding simulations with fixed S=0. For a fixed Damköhler number, it is found that increasing S results in increased entrainment and reduced liftoff heights. At a critical value SB* of the swirl number, equal to SB*=1.2 for DN=0.35, a recirculation zone abruptly forms upstream of the lifted triple flame, enhancing the mixing and facilitating flame stabilization closer to the injector.
