Chemistry Tabulation

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of thermo-chemistry tabulation approaches for numerical simulation of laminar partially premixed flame by comparing with the results of detail chemistry. Two thermo-chemistry tabulation approaches are considered: the multidimensional flamelet manifolds (MFM) method and Flame Prolongation of Intrinsic low-dimensional manifold (FPI) method. The fuel streams with different equivalence ratios (ΦF=1.8,ΦF=2.464) are analyzed. In both of the equivalence ratios the results obtained from MFM method are in closer agreement with the direct calculation than FPI method. It is concluded that multi-dimensional flamelet manifolds can capture more precisely partially premixed characteristic of the multi-regime flame structure, comparing to single-dimensional flamelet model FPI.

Partially Premixed Flame

Partially premixed flames are formed by mixing air (in less than stoichiometric amounts) into the fuel stream prior to the reaction zone, where additional air is available for complete combustion. Such flames can occur in both laboratory and practical combustion systems. In advanced gas turbine combustor designs, such as a lean direct injection (LDI) combustor, partially premixed combustion represents an impotent mode of burning. Spray combustion often involves partially premixed combustion due to the locally fuel vapor-rich regions. In the present study, the detailed structure of n-heptane/air partially premixed flame in a counterflow configuration is investigated. The flame is computed by employing the Oppdif code and a detailed reaction mechanism consisting of 275 elementary reactions and 41 species. The partially premixed flame structure is characterized by two-stage burning or two distinct but synergistically coupled reaction zones, a rich premixed zone on the fuel side and a ‘nonpremixed zone on the air side. The fuel is completely consumed in the premixed zone with ethylene and acetylene being the major intermediate species. The reactions involving the consumption of these species are found to be the key rate-limiting reactions that characterize interactions between the two reaction zones, and determine the overall fuel consumption rate. The flame response to the variations in equivalence ratio and strain rate is examined. Increasing equivalence ratio and/or strain rate to a critical value leads to merging of the two reaction zones. The equivalence ratio variation affects the rich premixed reaction zone, while the variation in strain rate predominantly affects the nonpremixed reaction zone. The flame structure is also characterized in terms of a modified mixture fraction (conserved scalar), and laminar flamelet profiles are provided.

An experimental and simulation work had been conducted to study a one-dimensional partially premixed methane/air counterflow flame in this paper. Flame images are obtained through experiments and computations using GRIMech 3.00 chemistry were performed for the flames studied. The partially premixing effects upon the flame were revealed by comparing the flame structures and emissions with premixed flames at the same equivalence ratio. The results show the premixed flame only has a single flame structure. However, PPF has distinct double flame structures at present equivalence ratio. Temperature is relatively high in the whole combustion zone for premixed flame, while, for PPF, there are two temperature peaks in a rich premixed reaction zone on the fuel side and a nonpremixed reaction zone on the oxidizer side respectively. For PPF, NO concentration in the nonpremixed zone is much higher compared to that in the rich premixed zone because of higher OH concentration in the nonpremixed zone.
