The purpose of this study is to develop venturi type after-burner in order to obtain pollutant reduction effect and find the best stable combustion condition. For this purpose, through a flow analysis, the shape of venturi type was made and flame holder locations were also decided by measuring chemical species at before and after the after-burner. Also, various chemical species concentration were measured at changing the induced air rates and the oxygen for oxygen enrichment for the solution the problems of much oxygen flow rate and the flame stability range. As results of this study, a flow distribution and the purification effect was excellent at venturi contraction 0.5 and flame holder location 12mm below the center of Venturi throat. On the purification characteristics, we found that pollutants reduction was effective when area ratio and oxygen are increased. But there are suitable quantities due to the flame shape change and combustion efficiency.

The purpose of study is to investigate the flame stability and Structure of turbulent diffusion flame behind the hollowed flame holder, which is located on the waste gas coming out from the test furnace. Fluctuating temperature and ion current measurement and their statistical treatment were used for the purpose. Three types of flame were stabilized and each of which were changed by adequate equivalence ration. And we found that have no periodicity near reacting zone.

The goal of this study is to find flame dynamic behavior using a transverse fuel injection in a model combustor, and is to investigate main causes of unstable combustion in a liquid-fueled combustor. For transverse fuel injection into air cross flow, spray result shows similar tendency with Wu et al.[1998] until spray arrives at flame-holder. However, passing through flame-holder, fuel inflow into recirculation region of flameholder is not sufficient so it makes large difference between shear flame and recirculation flame behind flameholder. In combustion tests, the stable flame shows a kind of shear flames and low peaks of dynamic pressure frequencies. On the other hand, unstable flame shows periodic detached flame in recirculation zone and a strong peak of dynamic pressure frequency. The instability frequency is highly affected by influx air velocity, air temperature, equivalence ratio and wake or vortex shedding frequency behind the flameholder.

In the experiment of dump type Ram-combustor equipped for flame-holder which is designed for development of combustion performance, temperature of center of exit decreases in the case of short length($L_c$=300mm) of combustor while does not decrease in the case of $L_c$=500mm and flame still remains under the center of combustor. With V-gutter, temperature distribution of exit becomes uniform. In the case of $L_c$=300mm, combustion efficiency of combustor with V-gutter increases a few but the influence of V-gutter is small.

A numerical analysis is performed to analyze the reacting flow-field of an axisymetric coaxial ramjet combustor. Two dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with low Reynolds number $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model is utilized and finite-rate chemistry model is adopted. Eddy dissipation model is applied for a modeling of turbulent combustion. Two different types of combustors (combustor with a suddenly expanded dump and combustor with wedge-shaped flame holders) are compared in a view point of flame stabilizing.

The stabilization characteristics of diffusion flame formed in the wake of a cylindrical flame holder were investigated. Distribution of turbulence intensity, concentration distribution of combustion gas, and ion currents were measured. The turbulence intensity in the wake of cylindrical- game holder is increased with increase of diameter or blockage ratio of grid. If the auxiliary fuel is injected into recirculation zone, the concentration of $C_3H_8$ is high, but the concentration of $CO_2$ is low at the boundary of recirculation zone. The region with highest average value of ion currents in the middle of flame is moved to the upstream side by the turbulent components of main stream. The flame mass with partially active reaction is moved fast for uniform flow and turbulence generator G3, but the flame mass with relatively slow reaction is moved slowly for turbulence generator G1.

A large eddy simulation (LES) is performed for turbulent flow in a combustion device. The combustion device is simplified as a cylindrical chamber with sudden expansion. A flame holder is attached inside a cylindrical chamber in order to promote turbulent mixing and to accommodate flame stability. The turbulent sub-grid scale models are applied and validated. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of turbulent model for the LES of complex geometry. The simulation code is constructed by using a general coordinate system based on the physical contravariant velocity components. The calculated Reynolds number is 5000 based on the bulk velocity and the diameter of inlet pipe. The predicted turbulent statistics are evaluated by comparing with the LDV measurement data. The Smagorinsky model coefficients are estimated and the utility of dynamic SGS models are confirmed in the LES of complex geometry.

In this paper, we analysed the flame patterns and the electrical characteristics of the electric outlet which was fired at standby mode. The carbonized patterns indicated that the flame had spread about 50 cm to 70 cm. After the combustibles on wall started to burn, the temperature went up to about $300^{\circ}c$ in 150 sec. The flame formed ceiling jet and spread quickly. The tracking was generated at the shortest distance between two electrodes and the resistance was about 100$\Omega$ to 300$\Omega$ As the result of analysis using metallurgical microscope, the normal part of a blade holder showed amorphous structure, but the melted part of a blade holder damaged by tracking showed dendrite structure and void evenly. When the blade holder of damaged outlet was analyzed by SEM and EDX, we found that the structure and components of the normal part were different from those of melted part.

The model cavity scramjet engine experiments are carried out using T3 free-piston shock tunnel. Upstream hydrogen fuel is injected before the cavity with different injection pressure. OH planar laser-induced fluorescence is used to investigate the combustion zone and piezoelectric pressure transducers are used to define the pressure rise due to the combustion. Main combustion region is a mixing layer which is between air and fuel. Also high OH fluorescence signal is appeared in the shear layer above the cavity in high equivalence ratio. From the OH signal in the cavity, this fuel injection system can be a role as a flame-holder.

In order to see the detailed characteristics of model scramjet engine, numerical analysis was performed and compared to the ground test results done by KARI and UQ. Pressure distribution predicted by numerical analysis showed good agreements with test results. Static temperature and pressure distribution explained the mechanisms of cavity flame holder and W-shape cowl which have showed enhancing effects on the supersonic combustion.
