Intermittency and swirl dynamics of turbulent swirling flames

Abstract

Swirl effects on velocity and mixture fraction intermittency have been analysed for turbulent methane flames using LES. Probability density function (pdf) distributions demonstrate a Gaussian shape closer to the centreline region of the flame and a delta function at the far radial position. However, non-Gaussian pdfs are observed for velocity and mixture fraction on the centreline in a region where centre jet precession occurs. Due to the occurrence of recirculation zones, the variation from turbulent to non turbulent flow is more rapid for the velocity than the mixture fraction and therefore indicates how rapidly turbulence affects the molecular transport in these regions of the flame.
