초록

저선회 연소기에서는 노즐출구의 속도장과 예혼합화염의 전파속도 간 균형에 의해 화염이 부상되어 존재한다. 저선회 화염의 부상높이에 대한 이해는 연소기의 안정성 및 노즐팁의 열화와 관련하여 중요한 문제이다. 이전의 실험적 연구로부터 입구 속도의 증가에 따라 화염부상높이가 오히려 감소하는 현상이 관찰된 바 있다. 선회익을 통과하는 환형 유동과 난류생성판을 통과하는 중심유동 간의 복잡한 유동장을 규명하기 위하여, 입구 속도를 바꾸어가며 비반응 유동장에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 입구 속도에 따른 노즐 출구에서의 유동구조를 분석하여 실험에서 관찰된 비직관적 경향에 대한 정성적 설명을 도출하였다.

In low swirl combustors the flame is lifted above the nozzle to achieve balance between the flame speed and velocity field at the exit of the nozzle. Characterization of the flame liftoff height is important because it affects the stability of the combustor and degradation of the nozzle material. In experiments, a counter-intuitive trend of flame liftoff heights with respect to inlet velocities was observed. To elucidate the complicated flow field in a low swirl combustor having swirl vanes and a turbulence generator, a series of numerical simulations of non-reacting flows was conducted by varying the inlet velocity. The flow structures at the exit of the nozzle with respect to the inlet velocities are investigated to support the observation in the experiments.
