  • The opposed flow flame in a mesoscale channel was constructed to observe the flame stabilization behaviors at low strain rate conditions (<$10s^{-1}$). The purpose of this study is to get the overall flame behaviors of partially premixed flames with oxygen enhanced conditions at low strain rates. The oxygen ratio in oxidizer was changed from 18 to 30 %. Conclusively, the flame extinction limit approached to about $1s^{-1}$, and divided into three representative regimes corresponding to self propagating flame, transitional flame, quenching flame regimes.

  • A mesoscale channel was designed to observe the flame stabilization at low strain rate conditions (< $10s^{-1}$). At this condition, the behavior of partially premixed flame was explored by changing a channel size and the oxygen ratio in the oxidant. In this work, experiment is conducted for propane case and it was compared with methane case of previous one. Conclusively, it can be observed that the strain rate of flame extinction and starting point of oscillation were varied with oxygen ratio. Moreover we can understand the effects of enhanced oxygen ratio of oxidant and flame behavior at low strain rate conditions.

  • In this study, the structure of a edge flame near the flammability limits was explored through several paths approaching the combustion limits of a non-premixed flame: i.e., increase of fuel dilution ratio (FDR), reduction of mean flow velocity and variation of gravity effect. As a result, a unique interesting flame structure was discovered; i.e., a diffusion flame branch was enclosed by two asymmetric premixed flame branches. These structures have been compared for various fuels. Conclusively, each fuel has different flame structure and the meaning of this structure was discussed concerned about our understanding of laminar flame structures.

  • In order to verify the enhancement of ozone and carbon monoxide (CO) during springtime in East Asia, we investigated weather conditions and data from remote sensors, air quality models, and air quality monitors. These include the geopotential height archived from the final (FNL) meteorological field, the potential vorticity and the wind velocity simulated by the Meteorological Mesoscale Model 5 (MM5), the back trajectory estimated by the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model, the total column amount of ozone and the aerosol index retrieved from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), the total column density of CO retrieved from the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT), and the concentration of ozone and CO simulated by the Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers (MOZART). In particular, the total column density of CO, which mightoriginate from the combustion of fossil fuels and the burning of biomass in China, increased in East Asia during spring 2000. In addition, the enhancement of total column amounts of ozone and CO appeared to be associated with both the upper cut-off low near 500 hPa and the frontogenesis of a surface cyclone during a weak Asian dust event. At the same time, high concentrations of ozone and CO on the Earth's surface were shown at the Seoul air quality monitoring site, located at the surface frontogenesis in Korea. It was clear that the ozone was invaded by the downward stretched vortex anomalies, which included the ozone-rich airflow, during movement and development of the cut-off low, and then there was the catalytic photochemical reaction of ozone precursors on the Earth's surface during the day. In addition, air pollutants such as CO and aerosol were tracked along both the cyclone vortex and the strong westerly as shown at the back trajectory in Seoul and Busan, respectively. Consequently, the maxima of ozone and CO between the two areas showed up differently because of the time lag between those gases, including their catalytic photochemical reactions together with the invasion from the upper troposphere, as well as the path of their transport from China during the weak Asian dust event.
