小尺度受限空间内瓦斯湍流爆燃大涡模拟

Large eddy simulation of gas turbulent deflagration in small-scale confined space

构建了150 mm×150 mm×500 mm小尺度受限空间三维模型,基于火焰表面密度模型和Charlette湍流燃烧模型,对两侧连续障碍物条件下瓦斯爆燃火焰与湍流耦合过程进行了大涡模拟(LES)。模拟结果均与实验结果进行了比较。结果表明:大涡模拟可以很好预测瓦斯爆燃过程中的火焰结构、火焰锋面位置、火焰传播速度及超压,验证了大涡模拟及湍流燃烧模型对于瓦斯爆燃的适用性。此外,通过Karlovitz数定量描述了瓦斯爆燃火焰与湍流之间的相互作用及其变化规律,并对不同时刻的火焰模态进行了判别,在两侧连续障碍物条件下瓦斯湍流爆燃火焰先后经历波纹小火焰和薄反应区两种模态。

A 3D model of small-scale confined space with an inner size of 150 mm × 150 mm × 500 mm was set up. Based on the flame surface density model and the turbulent combustion model by Charlette et al., a large wddy simulation（LES） had been carried out on the process of gas deflagration flame-turbulence interaction with continuous obstacles at two sides of the chamber. All numerical results have been compared to experimental data. It showed that the LES is capable to predict the flame structure, position, speed, and overpressure in the process of gas deflagration, and the applicability of the LES and turbulent combustion model on gas deflagration was verified. In addition, the interaction between gas deflagration and turbulence and the relationship were described quantitatively by the Karlovitz number, and the transient flame regimes also identified. Under condition of continuous obstacles at double sides of the chamber, the gas turbulent deflagration flame experienced in the subsequent states of corrugated flamelets zone and thin reaction zone.
