Experimental study of turbulence-flame front interactions by means of PIV-LIF technique.

Experimental evidences
Multi-Scale Interactions between turbulence and flame front
• Turbulent velocity fluctuations increase the mass consumption rate, hence the turbulent burning velocity (ST) well above its laminar value (SL).
• Increasing turbulence beyond a certain level increases the mass consumption rate very little: leveling off of ST .
• At higher turbulent fluctuations possible flame extinctions (flame quenching).
Multi-Scale Interactions between turbulence and flame front
Joint PIV-LIF analysis of turbulent flames
• Scales larger than flame front: flame wrinkling,
flame front surface increase,
effects on the turbulent burning velocity.
• Scales smaller than flame front (high Karlovitz effects): smallest eddies penetration into the thermal thickness flame front,
thermal gradient misaligned to the radical species concentration gradient,
thickening of flame front,
increase of laminar burning velocity, quenching [1,2] .

Flames at different equivalence ratios (Re=103 )
Flame topology changes due to variations in the turbulent burning velocity
CH4+Air
Flame wrinkling
Hot reacting flow island formation
Large scale turbulence-flame front interaction
Flame stretching
Small scale turbulence-flame front interactions
In this case the ratio ST/SL decreases until quenching is approached.
The flame front experiences thickening but it is still a continuous interface between reactants and products: Extended-Flamelets assumption[3].

When turbulent scales are smaller than flame thickness (high Karlovitz number), some small eddies can penetrate into the flame front and modify its diffusive properties, increasing flame thickness and laminar burning velocity.

Turbulent burning velocity (ST)
Characteristics
• leveling off of ST at high u’.
• Flame extinction, Quenching, at higher u’ (symbol “x”).
• Quenching depends also from Karlovitz number which is not taken into account in figure 1.
Burning velocity (ST) depends from both small scale and large scale turbulence -flame front interactions.
Turbulent burning velocity (ST)
can be directly measured or predicted by modeling.
1. Mean velocity, upstream the turbulent flame brush, can be considered equal to the burning velocity
2. Models for turbulent burning velocity must take into account:
a. Flame surface increase by wrinkling
b. Flame thickening
c. Laminar flame velocity modifications

The flame surface area measurement scales as a power law of the resolution adopted for the measurement.

Future development
• Measurement of fractal dimension at different turbulence intensity
• Direct measurement of burning rates.
• Measurement of inner cutoff and evaluation of possible scaling law in the form Ka-p .
• Measurement and analysis of small scales turbulence interacting within the flame front.
• LASER measurement of both temperature (CARS) and species concentration distribution inside the flame front.
• Assessment of new models for the prediction of the turbulent burning velocity.
