Flame structure, which contains a useful information for studying combustion instability of the flame, is often quantitatively visualized with PLIF (planar laser-induced fluorescence) and/or chemiluminescence images. The latter, a line-integral of a flame property, needs to be preprocessed before being inverted, mainly due to its inherent noise and the axisymmetry assumption of the inversion. A preprocessing scheme utilizing multi-division of ROI (region of interest) of the chemiluminescence image is proposed. Its feasibility has been tested with OH PLIF and $OH^*$ chemiluminescence images of SNG (synthetic natural gas) swirl-stabilized flames taken from a model gas turbine combustor. It turns out that the multi-division technique outperforms two conventional ones: those are, one without preprocessing and the other with uni-division preprocessing, reconstructing the SNG flame structure much better than its two counterparts, when compared with the corresponding OH PLIF images. It is also found that the Canny edge detection algorithm used for detecting edges in the multi-division method works better than the Sobel algorithm does.

A two-dimensional direct numerical simulations was peformed to investigate the flame structure of $CH_4/N_2$-Air counterflow nonpremixed flame interacting with a single vortex. The detailed transport properties and a modified 16-step augmented reduced mechanism based on Miller and Bowman's detailed reaction mechanism were adopted in this calculation. To quantify the strain on flame induced by a vortex, a scalar dissipation rate (SDR) is introduced. Results show that the fuel- and air-side vortex cause an unsteady extinction. In this case, the flame interacting with a vortex is extinguished in much larger SDR than steady flame. It was also found that air- side vortex extinguishes a flame more rapidly than fuel -side vortex.

Measurements of flame length and NOx emissions have been conducted to investigate the effects of acoustic excitation on flame structure in turbulent hydrogen diffusion flames with coaxial air. When the acoustic excitation of a specific frequency is applied to coaxial air stream, flame length is dramatically reduced, resulting in reduction of flame residence time. Consequently, EINOx could decrease up to 35 % and this shows that acoustic excitation is effective in reducing NOx emissions. Mie scattering technique has been used to visualize the vortex structure induced by acoustic excitation and vortex formation, development and destruction were observed quantitatively. As a result, vortex entrains coflow air into fuel stream and mixing rate between fuel and air is significantly enhanced, which may contribute to reduction of NOx emissions.

닥트의 두께와 속도 경계조건이 정상중력 및 무중력 상태에서 화염구조에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 81%의 질소와 19%의 메탄이 혼합된 가연성가스와 공기의 저변형율 (20 s-1) 대향류 화염을 수치법으로 모사하였다. 정상중력에서는 닥트의 두께와 속도 경계조건에 따라 화염의 위치가 이동함으로써 그 영향이 컸으나, 무중력에서는 그 영향을 무시할 수 있을 정도로 작은 것으로 나타났다. 화염구조의 차이는 부력으로 인한 것이고, 따라서 정상중력에서의 측정에서는 닥트 두께와 속도 경계조건의 영향을 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

메탄-공기의 비예혼합 대향류 확산화염 차폐가스가 화염구조에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 조사하였다. 20 $s^{-1}$의 저변형율, 메탄가스 19%와 질소 79%의 혼합가스 연료와 공기의 확산화염을 대상으로 하였다. 질소차폐가스의 속도의 차폐가스의 유무에 따른 화염의 형태와 중심선상의 온도 및 축방향 속도의 분포를 비교하였다. 정상중력에서 $V_{S}/V_{F}{\leq}2$일 때 차폐가스의 유동이 화염구조에 미치는 영향은 무시할 수 있었다. 정상중력에서 차폐가스가 없는 경우의 화염형태와 그 위치는 차폐가스가 있는 경우와 다르지만, 무중력에서는 중심선상에서 차폐가스의 영향이 거의 없었다.

An experimental study is carried out on turbulent diffusion flames stabilized by a circular cylinder in a divergent duct flow. A commercial grade gaseous propane is injected from two slits on the rod as fuel. Flame stability limits, as well as size and temperrature of recirculation zone, are measured by direct and schlieren photographs to clarify the characteristics and structure of diffusion flames and to assess the effect of various divergent angle of duct. The results of the present study are as follows. Temperature in the recirculation zone decreases with increasing divergent angle. The blow-off velocity in parallel duct is higher than that in divergent duct. Critical blow-off velocity is expected to be about 8-12 degree through blow-off velocity pattern. Regardless of divergent angles, the length of recirculation zone is nearly constant, and this length becomes longer with rod diameter. Pressure gradient has an effect on the eddy structure in shear layer behind the rod. With the increase of divergent angle, large scale eddies by dissipated energy in shear layer are split into small scale eddies, and the flame becomes a typical distributedreacting flame.

A numerical study on lifted flame structure in impinging jet geometry with syngas composition ratio was investigated. The numerical calculations including chemical kinetic analysis were conducted using SPIN application of the CHEMKIN Package with Davis-Mechanism. The flame temperature and velocity profiles were calculated at the steady state for one-dimensional stagnation flow geometry. Syngas mixture compositions were adjusted such as $H_2:CO=10:90(10P)$, 20 : 80 (20P), 30 : 70 (30P), 40 : 60 (40P), 50 : 50 (50P). As composition ratios are changed from 10P to 50P, the axial velocity and flame temperature increase because the contents of hydrogen that have faster burning velocity increase. This phenomenon is due to increase in good reactive radicals such as H, OH radical. As a result of active reactivity, the burning velocity is more faster and this is confirmed by numerical methods. Consequently, combustion reaction zone was moved to burner nozzle.

Premixed combustion within porous ceramic media is numerically studied to understand burning characteristics and to find best configurations for burner implementations. Among many parameters, critical to burner performance, flame location and extinction coefficient are selected as major parameters for this study. The flame structure and burner performance with respect to these two parameters are observed. In the study, it is found that the location of flame is the most important in porous burner operation since it affects the rate of heat transfer and flame structure. Stability of the flame within the porous ceramic burner is discussed with respect to the flame location. It is found that to obtain high radiative output, the flame should be located downstream section of the burner. But the flame is to be unstable at most of downstream section except near the exit plane. To overcome this problem, new porous ceramic burner, using different ceramic properties in one burner instead of single property ceramic, is made and tested. With a combination of ceramics of high extinction coefficient at upstream and another material of low extinction coefficient at downstream of the burner, the flame can be stabilized at wider region of the burner with higher radiative output compared to the original burner configuration.

The effects of EGR and premixedness on NO formation have been numerically investigated. The flame structure is classified into three categories; premixed flame($=1)$, rich/lean premixed flame(${\alpha}=0.6$ and 0.8) and diffusion flame(${\alpha}=0$). NO formation/destruction mechanisms are assorted to thermal, reburn and Fenimore mechanisms. The temperature of unburned gas is arranged to 298 and 500 K to have access to the condition in a real internal combustion engine. The results show that all three NO formation/destruction reaction rates in the fuel rich flame zone could be decreased by EGR for rich/lean premixed flames, while those in the fuel lean flame zone are not significantly changed. Near the stagnation plane, however, only the thermal NO reaction rate is decreased. The contribution of reburn and Fenimore mechanisms for the net NO production becomes less significant as the premixedness of a flame increases. The larger amount of NO reduction with EGR is expected under the higher temperature and/or higher fuel/air premixedness conditions due to the increased contribution of the thermal mechanism. The role of Fenimore and reburn mechanisms could be important for rich premixed and diffusion flames; therefore, the effect of EGR on NO reduction could vary with fuel/air premixedness. The premixedness of a partially premixed flame changes the flame structure and could affect the NO production characteristics.

변형률이 대향류 화염의 구조에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해, 무중력상태에서의 축대칭 메탄-공기 대향류화염의 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 질소와 메탄의 혼합물인 연료 중 메탄의 몰분율 Xm= 20, 50, $80\%$와 각 몰분율당 변형률 ag= 20, 60, 90 $s^{-1}$에 대한 화염형태와 온도 및 축방항 속도의 분포를 비교하였다. 온도와 축방항 속도 분포가 1차원 화염코드인 OPPDIF의 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 또 축대칭 시물레이션을 통해, 변형률이 증가하면 화염이 반경방향으로 늘어나 화염의 반경은 증가하고 두께가 감소함을 확인하였다.
