Numerical Modelling of Swirl-Stabilized Turbulent Lean Non-Premixed Flames

Abstract:

Numerical simulations have been performed to analyze the interaction of confined coaxial high-swirl jets in both cases: isothermal and reactive flows. Besides different setups of swirl injectors have been tested to study the influence of swirl in the flames for both stoichiometric and lean mixtures. The aim was to quantify the nitrogen oxide emissions as well as the flow pattern for different swirling annular air jet and non-swirling inner fuel jet. This simple setup is widely used in burners to promote stabilized flames of lean mixtures producing ultra low NOx emissions.
