Simulation of Heptane Jet Fire at Low Atmosphere Pressure

Abstract:

Due to safety consideration of storage and transportation of liquid fuel at low atmospheric pressure region, the influence of low atmospheric pressure on heptane jet fire was numerically investigated, based on LES and mixture-fraction combustion model. Injection heptane diameters satisfy Rosin-Rammler distribution. The simulation shows that, low atmospheric pressure has an evident effect on jet fire. It extends the fire length and shortens the lift-off height. The centerline temperature rises to the maximum value more rapidly and then it decays more slowly. The maximum centerline temperature is not sensitive to various atmospheric pressure.
