Numerical Study on the Influence of Precessing Vortex Core Coupling with Flame Surface on Combustion Stability
Large eddy simulation(LES)was used to investigate the combustion dynamics on a lab scaled combustion chamber
which is well known as PRECCINSTA combustor. Transient three-dimensional numerical simulations at the two different thermal powers(10 kW and 35 kW)with a fixed equivalence ratio of 0.7 were carried out. The predicted results were compared with the experimental data and good agreements were showed. A precessing vortex core(PVC)in the inner shear layer(ISL)
which existed between the swirling jet and the inner recirculate zone(IRZ)
could be seen in the cold flow field of both conditions. However
two different flow and combustion dynamics appeared when combustion occurred. At thermal power of 10 kW
there was a V-shaped flame with stable combustion
PVC disappeared
and the vortices arrangement was symmetrical in the ISL. However
there was a M-shaped flame with a PVC in the ISL and thermoacoustic coupling combustion instability occurred at thermal power of 35 kW. Through the analysis of the characteristics of the flow
temperature and heat release field
it is found that the flame surface was wrinkled periodically by the PVC
which enhanced the mixture of cold fresh gas and hot burned gas
and then the mixture was ignited in a local area. These effects were directly related to the periodic vortex motion induced by PVC. It is confirmed that the influence of PVC on flame surface and heat release is an important factor triggering the combustion instability at thermal power of 35 kW.
