In the present study, large eddy simulation methodology is applied to investigate the 3D non-premixed flameless oxidation in the IFRF furnace. In order to serve this purpose, to model the combustion and radiation, the partially stirred reactor and finite volume discrete ordinate model are used, respectively.Moreover, the detailed mechanism of GRI-2.11 is undertaken to represent chemistry reactions. The present simulations agree qualitatively well with published experimental data. Finally, the present study focusses on the assessment of the effects of variations in the fuel vertical injection by adding an inert gas as well as the fuel temperature on combustion behavior. The results revealed that important changes occur in the characteristics of the flameless oxidation process.

This paper investigates flame and flow structure of a swirl-stabilized pilot combustor in conventional, high temperature, and flameless modes by means of a partially stirred reactor combustion model to provide a better insight into designing lean premixed combustion devices with preheating system. Finite rate chemistry combustion model with one step tuned mechanism and large eddy simulation is used to numerically simulate six cases in these modes. Results show that moving towards high temperature mode by increasing the preheating level, the combustor is prone to formation of thermalNOxwith higher risks of flashback. In addition, the flame becomes shorter and thinner with higher turbulent kinetic energies. On the other hand, towards the flameless mode, leaning the preheated mixture leads to almost thermalNOx-free combustion with lower risk of flashback and thicker and longer flames. Simulations also show qualitative agreements with available experiments, indicating that the current combustion model with one step tuned mechanisms is capable of capturing main features of the turbulent flame in a wide range of mixture temperature and equivalence ratios.
