화염스트레치와 확산선호도가 예혼합화염에 미치는 영향을 몇가지 모델에 대해 현상적으로 고 찰하였다. 즉, 정상상태의 구형화염, 구형으로 전파되는 화염, 균일유동장내의 곡면화염, 일차원 평면화염, 그리고 확대유동장내에서 스트레치된 평면화염등을 고찰하였으며, 이 해석의 결과는 화염면의 면적 변화율로 정의된 화염스트레치의 제인자들 즉, 비균일 접선속도장과 전파화염의 곡률에 의한 영향들이 공통적 특성을 나타냄을 보여주고 있다. 화염스트레치와 확산선호도가 화염전파속도에 미치는 복합효과는 세가지로 나타나는데 이는 화염온도의 변화에 따른 화학반 응강도의 변동, 열 및 물질확산의 강도차이, 그리고 대류 및 확산전달의 방향의 상이함에 기인 한다.

Flame stability is the one of the main mechanism of laminar lifted flame and flame propagation velocity becomes a yardstick to measure the flame stability. Bilge has presented the flame propagation velocity of the triple flame and the flame stability mechanism related the flame configuration and mixture fraction. However, there was not able to observe all process of flame ignition and extinction for small nozzle diameter. In this paper, we have subdivided the flame configuration and stability mechanism and classified the flame behavior with a nozzle diameter. Also we have subdivided the 'triple flame propagation opened' and the 'triple flame propagation closed' from the triple flame propagation of triple flame criterion.

Experiments in low strain rate methane-air counterflow diffusion flames diluted with $CO_2$ have been conducted to investigate the flame extinction behavior and edge flame oscillation The critical mole fraction at flame extinction is examined in terms of velocity ratio and global strain rate. Onset conditions of the edge flame oscillation and the relevant modes are also provided with global strain rate. It is observed that flame length is intimately relevant to lateral heat loss, and this affects flame extinction and edge flame oscillation considerably. Edge flame oscillations are categorized into three: a growing-, a decaying-, and a harmonic-oscillation mode.

비균열 접선속도장에 기인한 화염스트레치 인자와 확산선호도가 예혼합화염의 전파속도에 미치는 영향을 연소가스와 예혼합기의 대향류 유동장을 모델로 하여 접합 전개 방법을 이용하여 일반 인 Lewis수 및 기체팽창을 고려하여 해석하였다. 이 결과 스트레치가 작은 경우에는 확산선호 도에 따라 화염특성이 급격히 변화하는데 이는 곡률을 가진 자유전파화염의 특성과 동일하며 스트레치가 큰 경우에는 확산선호도에 관계없이 화염전파속도는 감소하는 특성을 보여주었다. 또한, 화염스트레치의 실험적 측정 및 이론적 해석에 있어서의 정의 및 화염스트레치의 영향에 관한 현상적 설명에 대하여 재검토하였다.

Experiments were conducted to study the transition of shrinking flame disk to flame hole in counterflow diffusion flames. The studies of transition are well described by varying burner diameters, global strain rate and velocity ratio. It is experimentally verified that radial conduction heat loss is affected at even high strain rate flames for appropriately small burner diameters. It is also shown that flame extinction modes are grouped into three and particularly, hole or stripe is observed in sufficiently high strain rate flames. There exists critical radius according to burner diameter which divide flame extinction modes into three parts.

Exhaust plume effects on longitudinal aerodynamics of missile were investigated by wind tunnel tests using a solid plume simulator and CFD analyses with both the solid plume and air jet plumes. Approximate plume boundary prediction technique was used to produce the outer shape of the solid plumer and chamber conditions and nozzle shapes of the air jet plumes were determined through plume modeling technique to compensate the difference in thermodynamic properties between air and real plume. From comparisons among turbulence models in case of external flow interaction with the air jet plume, Spalart-Allmaras model turned out to give accurate result and to be less grid-dependent. Effects induced by the plume were evaluated through the computations with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model and the air jet plume to account for various ratios of chamber and ambient pressure and Reynolds number under the flight test condition.

The present study on nitrogen-diluted non-premixed counterflow flames with finite burner diameters experimentally investigates the important role of the outer edge flame in flame extinction. Flame stability diagrams mapping the flame extinction response of nitrogen-diluted non-premixed counterflow flames to varying global strain rates in terms of the burner diameter, burner gap, and velocity ratio are explored. There exists a critical nitrogen mole fraction beyond which the flame cannot be sustained, and also the curves of the critical nitrogen mole fraction versus the global strain rate have C-shapes in terms of burner diameter, burner gap, and velocity ratio. In flames with sufficiently high strain rates, the curves of the critical nitrogen mole fractions versus global strain rate collapse into one curve, and the flames can have the 1-D flame response of typical diffusion flames. Three flame extinction modes are identified: flame extinctions through the shrinkage of the outer edge flame with and without an oscillation of the outer edge flame prior to the extinction and flame extinction through a flame hole at the flame center. The measured flame surface temperature and a numerical evaluation of the fractional contribution of each term in the energy equation show that the radial conductive heat loss at the flame edge destabilizes the outer edge flame, and the conductive and convection heat addition to the outer edge from the trailing diffusion flame stabilizes the outer edge flame. The radial conductive heat loss at the flame edge is the dominant extinction mechanism acting through the shrinkage of the outer edge flame.

The tribrachial flame has attracted interest as a basic structure of the flame edge. This flame structure helps understand stabilization of laminar flames and re-ignition of turbulent flames. A number of analytical and experimental studies have been carried out on the tribrachial flame. However, the effect of the variation of the flammability limits on the structure of the tribrachial flame has not been studied in detail. In this study, the effect of non-symmetric flammability limits on the flame structure was investigated by adopting a simple numerical scheme based on several laminar flame theories. A fixed velocity field was considered and boundary matching algorithm was used on the premixed branch. The variation of the diffusion branches under the non-symmetric flammability limits and heat loss was investigated. The formation and extinction of the diffusion branch behind the premixed branch were successfully described. This basic study can help understand the fundamental structure of the flame and can form the basis of subsequent detailed studies.

연료분출을 수반하는 원통형 보염기 후류에 형성되는 확산화염에 대한 이온전류의 특성과 화염의 안정범위를 측정, 분석함으로써 연소특성을 고찰하였다. 난류강도가 큰 경우의 화염일수록 화염의 안정성은 악화되며, 화염내 중앙의 평균 이온전류값이 가장 높은 값을 갖는 영역은 블로오프 직전상태에 비해서 안정시의 경우 더욱 하류측에 존재한다. 난류의 정도가 강한 화염의 경우 국소적으로 반응이 활발한 화염 덩어리가 빠른 속도로 이동하며, 난류의 정도가 강한 화염의 경우에는 반응이 완만한 화염 덩어리가 저속으로 이동한다. 재순환영역에서 주류유동측으로 이동함에 따라 자기상관계수의 저하가 빨라지고 난류 시간스케일이 작아지며, 부염기 직후에서 하류로 이동함에 따라 자기상관계수의 저하가 늦어지고 난류시간스케일이 커진다. 주류공기에 강한 난류를 가하지 않은 경우에는 큰 난류시간스케일에 대응되는 저주파수 특성이외에도 작은 난류 시간스케일에 대응되는 고주파수 특성이 나타나며 , 주류공기에 강한 난류를 가한 경우에는 큰 난류 시간스케일에 대응되는 저주파수 특성이 나타난다.

Flame spread velocity to virgin surface fuel bed on a ground slope increases as the flame gets closer to the slope according to the change of a ground slope angle. The existing studies have generally adopted the theory that flame gets closer to the slope as the slope angle increases, without considering the change of flame tilt against the slope. In this study, experiments were made on the actual characteristics of the flame on slopes of various angles, and as a result, this study offers the flame tilt equation according to the slope angle, and derive correlation between flame tilt and flame spread velocity on slope conditions.
