Experimental studies were carried out to investigate the interactions between the propagating flame fronts and different multiple obstacles within an explosion chamber. The explosion chamber is 600 mm in height, $700{\times}700mm^2$ in cross-section and has a H/L value of 0.86. Three different multiple obstacles with the blockage ratio of 0.43 were replaced within the chamber. The results showed that relatively higher local flame displacement speed was observed with the triangular obstacle while the lower was observed with the circular one. It was found that the local flame displacement speeds behind the obstacle were largely dependent on the obstacle types. It was also found that as the flame interacted with the flow field generated behind the obstacle, the probability density functions(PDFs) of the local flame displacement speed were extensively distributed toward higher speeds.

본 논문에서는 soot을 배출하는 층류 확산 화염에 대한 음향 가진(acoustic excitation) 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 최근의 연구결과는 soot 배출 화염에 음향 가진을 작용시키면 radiation은 증가하고 soot 배출은 감소한다는 사실을 밝혀주었다. 음향 속도(acoustic velocity)는 음향 압력(acoustic pressure)과 900 상(phase) 차이가 있기 때문에 acoustic driver를 장착한 유리 튜브 내부의 축방향으로 soot을 배출하는 아세틸렌 확산 화염을 이동시킴으로서 soot 배출 감소에 대한 음향 속도와 음향 압력의 상대적인 중요도를 밝혀낼 수 있다. Soot을 배출하는 아세틸렌 화염에 soot 배출이 멈출 때까지 음향 가진을 작용시키고 유리 튜브 안의 최대 압력 위치에서 음향 압력을 측정하며, 화염 위치의 음향 속도와 음향압력은 운동량 방정식과 파동 방정식을 통해 계산된다. 실험 결과 음향 속도가 최대이고 음향 압력이 최소인 위치에서 보다 음향 속도가 최소이고 음향 압력이 최대인 위치에서 훨씬 더 큰 acoustic power가 필요함을 보여주었다. Soot 배출을 멈추는데 필요한 음향 속도의 크기는 유리 튜브의 축방향에 대해 거의 일정한 반면 음향 압력의 크기는 상당한 변화가 있었다. 이러한 결과는 Soot 배출의 감소가 주로 음향 속도에 의한 것임을 강하게 시사한다고 할 수 있다. 또한 연료의 유량이 증가함에 따라 soot 배출을 억제하는데 필요한 acoustic power도 증가한다는 사실을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The flame speed correlation considering thermal-hydraulic phenomena under severe accidents is proposed and correction coefficients are defined. This correlation modifies the pressure dependency in Iijima-Takeno correlation and adds the steam suppression effects to it in the anticipated hydrogen and steam concentration ranges under severe accidents. The existing models of flame speed due to hydrogen combustion under severe accidents are based on the experiments which were performed merely at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. They have difficulty in predicting a accurate flame speed in a case of high temperature and pressure during severe accidents. Thus the flame structure is assumed as a prerequisite to the reliable determination of flame speed and theoretical model is developed. To examine the validity, flame speeds in various conditions calculated by this model are compared with those obtained by the calculation of the existing correlations of the codes such as improved HECTR and MAAP. Also the steam suppression ratio is quantified and the steam suppression coefficient is defined as a composition of mixture. Initial temperature and pressure dependencies are investigated and correction coefficents are determined. More experimental studies can be recommended to improve this correlation to its further works.

Experimental studies have been performed to examine the influences of wall obstructions in a rectangular confinement. Three wall obstacles with blockage ratios ranging from 10 to 30% were used. Temporally resolved flame front images were recorded by a high-speed video camera to investigate the interaction between a propagating flame and the obstacle. The local flame displacement speed and its probability density functions(PDFs) were obtained for the wall obstructions. During the interaction with the sharp-edges of the wall obstacles, the local propagation speed increased. The increase of local speed became larger as the obstruction ratio increased. However, the averaged flame displacement speeds with different blockage ratios were not significantly different within the chamber as shown in the paper of Park et al. The flame front interaction investigated in this work was less dependent of the obstacle obstructions compared to that published in the literature for large L/D.

A numerical analysis of reactive flow in a liftoff flame is accomplished to elucidate the characteristics of liftoff flame. To verify reliance of numerical calculation, the liftoff heights of liftoff flame for various fuel exit velocities are compared between the existing experimental research results and the present calculation results. The flame propagation velocity is conducted at the flow redirection point which is on a stoichiometric line ahead of flame front. This point was selected constant distance from triple point regardless of fuel exit velocity at the previous research. This causes considerable errors for the flame propagation velocity and scalar dissipation rate. The main issue of the present research is to establish the resonable method to select the redirection point and so that to clarify the relationship between flame propagation velocity and scalar dissipation rate, which is the core properties in a triple flame stability.

This study is intended to understand mass loss rate and air entrainment rate of the whirl fire by height of fire source. Liquid fuels were methanol and n-Heptane which are used in many studies of whirl fire. Size of vessel was 100 mm ${\times}$ 100 mm ${\times}$ 50 mm and the vessel was made by stainless steel. When height of fire source changed from 0 cm to 30 cm, air entrainment rate showed the fastest in case of 0 cm. And in the same height of fire source, average and maximum air entrainment rate showed the fastest in 30 cm of anemometer. From the results of whirl fire for methanol and n-Heptane, mass loss rate and air entrainment rate of n-Heptane was found to faster 1.33 to 1.58 times and 4.38 to 5.44 times compared with methanol, respectively. Consequently, mass loss rate and air entrainment rate in whirl fire was able to identified decrease as height of fire source increases and the higher the heating value, increases the that's value.

실내에서 가스폭발시 피해를 예측하기 위해서 폭발 화염면의 전파를 수치해석을 통해 해석했다. 확산방정식에 의해 가스누출에 의한 실내의 가스확산분포를 구했으며 문헌에서 선택한 누출의 초기조건을 사용했다. 화염온도를 계산하기 위해 각 가스 혼합비에 따른 엔탈피와 화학식에 대한 reduced mechanism을 사용했으며 문헌에서 찾은 각 가스의 농도별 층류 연소속도를 혼합가스의 층류연소속도에 적용시켰다. k-$\varepsilon$ 모델에서 turbulance energy를 층류연소속도와 결합시켜 난류화염 전파속도를 모델링 했다. 화염면의 전파를 분석하기 위해 실내의 위치에는 직각, 화염면의 전파에는 원통좌표계를 사용했다. 유리창의 파손에 의한 화염전파면의 변화에 따른 압력상승 요인을 해석하였으며 창문의 크기에 따라서 점화위치에 따른 실내 압력상승의 영향이 서로 다르게 나타나는 결과를 얻었다.

The laminar burning velocity in premixed Oxy-CH4 flames was studied in a lab-scale Bunsen burner. $CH^*$ chemiluminescence method and Schliren photography were used. Experimental results were compared with numerical prediction which was calculated with a CHEMKIN 3.7 package with a PREMIX code. Global equivalence ratio of oxy-CH4 mixture was varied from 0.5 to 2.0 in a laminar flow region. The laminar burning velocity was measured as 3.1 m/s for Schlieren photograph and 2.9 m/s for $CH^*$ chemiluminescence technique (angle method).

주유동에 수직으로 분사된 제트 화염의 구조는 이해하기 위하여 화염 길이와 온도를 측정하고 reactive mie scattering 방법을 이용하여 단면 가시화를 실시하였다. 주유동 속도와 제트 분사 속도의 증가에 따라 화염 길이도 함께 증가함을 알 수 있고, 단면 가시화 결과 화염 내부에 존재하는 inner vortical structure는 일반적인 동축제트 화염과 같은 대칭 구조를 갖지 앉고 유동 조건에 따라 inner vortical motion 의 생성 위치가 변화함을 알 수 있다 이는 본 유동장의 특성 중의 하나인 bound vortex와 제트와 주유동이 접하는 상류 면에서 발생하는 rolling-up 의 강도에 좌우됨을 알 수 있다.

An experimental study of the flame response in a turbulent premixed combustor has been conducted in order to investigate mechanisms for combustion instabilities in a lean premixed gas turbine combustor. A lab-scale combustor and mixing section system were fabricated to measure the flame transfer function. Measurements are made of the velocity fluctuation in the nozzle using hot wire anemometry and of the heat release fluctuation in the combustor using chemiluminescence emission. The results show that the flame transfer functions are greatly dependent on the modulation frequency as well as operating conditions such as equivalence ratio. Flame dynamics can be generalized as a function of Strouhal number which is a ratio of flame length to modulation wave length.
