چکیده

افزایش سرعت انتشار شعله به کمک نیروی گریز از مرکز که توسط لوئیس مطرح شده ­است، چالش جدیدی است که می ­تواند منجر به کاهش طول محفظه احتراق و در نتیجه افزایش نسبت نیروی جلوبرنده به وزن شود. در این تحقیق، اثر نیروی گریز از مرکز بر روی سرعت انتشار شعله در احتراق پیش­ آمیخته به کمک شبیه­ سازی گردابه­ های بزرگ (LES) احتراق پیش­ آمیخته مخلوط هوا - پروپان در یک لوله دوبعدی با دو انتهای بسته و در بستر نرم­ افزار متن­باز اوپنفوم بررسی شد. مقایسه نتایج حاصل از حل عددی با نتایج آزمایشگاهی، حدود 8 درصد خطا را در بحرانی ­ترین شتاب گریز از مرکز (3000 متر بر مجذور ثانیه) نشان داد. به‌منظور بررسی تأثیر مدل اغتشاشی، شبیه سازی احتراق به کمک مدل اغتشاشی k-e نیز برای شتاب گریز از مرکز 3000 متر بر مجذور ثانیه با مدل LES مقایسه ­شد و ملاحظه ­شد که شبیه­سازی گردابه­ های بزرگ، سرعت انتشار و چین­ خوردگی سطح شعله را با دقت بالاتری مدل‌سازی می­ کند. بررسی پارامتر چین‌خوردگی سطح شعله، نشان­ داد که در شتاب گریز از مرکز 4000 متر بر مجذور ثانیه‌، چین­ خوردگی سطح شعله به‌طور ناگهانی افزایش و سپس به سرعت کاهش می­ یابد که به نوعی خاموشی شعله را در شتاب گریز از مرکز مورد نظر نشان می­ دهد. سپس اثر طول لوله بر روی سرعت انتشار شعله و چین­ خوردگی سطح شعله در شتاب 2000 متر بر مجذور ثانیه بررسی شد و ملاحظه شد با افزایش طول لوله و افزایش فاصله از مبدأ دوران، نیروی گریز از مرکز القایی افزایش و در نتیجه سرعت انتشار و چین­خوردگی افزایش می­یابد.

چکیده [English]

Increasing the flame propagation speed with aid of centrifugal force proposed by Lewis is a new challenge that can reduce the length of the combustion chamber and thus increase the thrust to weight ratio. In this study, large eddy simulation of premixed combustion of air-propane mixture in a two-dimensional tube with closed ends have been implemented in OpenFoam Software to investigate the effect of centrifugal force on the flame propagation speed. Comparison of numerical solution results with experimental data showed about 8% error in the most critical centrifugal acceleration (3000g). To investigate the effect of the turbulence model, the combustion simulation using the k turbulence model for 3000g, was compared with the LES model and it was observed that the LES model, investigate propagation speed and flame wrinkling with higher accuracy. Considering the flame surface wrinkling parameter, it was observed that at a centrifugal acceleration equal to 4000g, the flame surface wrinkling, suddenly increased and then decreased rapidly that indicates the extinction of the flame. Then, the effect of pipe length on flame propagation speed and flame wrinkling at 2000g was investigated and it was observed that increasing pipe length and distance from the origin of rotation, the induced centrifugal force increased and as a result, propagation speed and wrinkling Increases.
