Abstract

In this study, the influence of turbulence intensity on flame local structural and local propagation characteristics was studied. In order to achieve this, 50% H2/50% CO with equivalence ratio of 0.8 were conducted under different turbulence intensities ranging from 0 to 1.31 m/s at atmospheric pressure and temperature. The distribution of the flame local radius and flame local propagation speed and the correlation between the two were investigated. The results show that the turbulence can increase the disturbance in the flame front, and enhance the fluctuation of the flame local radius, resulting in an increase in the fluctuation of the flame local propagation speed. With the development of flame, the distribution of the flame local propagation speed tended to become uniform, while the intersection zone of the flame local propagation speed and the flame local radius distribution gradually decreased. When the turbulence intensity ranged between 0.49 m/s to 0.74 m/s and between 1.08 m/s to 1.31 m/s, the sensitivity of the flame local propagation speed to its local characteristics reduced with the increase of the turbulence intensity.
