摘要

In a piloted jet flame, the pilot flame has an effect of stabilizing the main flame. Detailed mechanisms of pilot flame/main flame interaction are however not well studied. It is expected that the pilot flame affects the main flame through the following mechanisms: (a) the pilot flame provides the heat and radicals to the reaction zone of the main flame, (b) the pilot flame prevents the cold ambient air from being entrained into the main flame, and (c) the pilot flame modifies the stretch rate of the main flame. In this paper, detailed numerical simulations of piloted laminar methane/air jet flames are carried out to elucidate the effect of pilot flame on the structure and burning velocity of the main jet flame. One-dimensional (1D) freely propagating flame is also simulated to investigate the effect of hot gas mixing with the unburned fuel/air mixture, and 1D counter-flow flame is simulated to study the diffusion of the hot gas from the pilot flame to the reaction zone of the main flame and the effect of flame stretch. The results showed that heat transfer from the pilot flame to the main flame has a more significant effect on the structures and propagation of the main flame than the mass transfer from the pilot flame to the main flame. The heat and mass transfer from the pilot flame affects the local equivalence ratio and temperature of the unburned mixture, which gives rise to a significant enhancement of burning velocity. When the hot gas from the pilot flame is at sufficiently high temperatures, an ultra-lean fuel/air mixture can burn at equivalence ratio below the flammability limit. The reaction rate and burning velocity of ultra fuel-lean flames are enhanced by the strain rate, whereas for a main flame with the equivalence ratio closer to that of pilot flame, the reactivity and burning velocity of the main flame decrease with increasing strain rate.
