The experiments are performed in a standard shock tube arrangement, in which a high-speed shadowgraph imaging system is used to record evolutions of the flame. Numerical simulations are conducted by using second-order wave propagation algorithms, based on two-dimensional axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations with detailed chemical reactions. Qualitative agreements are obtained between the experimental and numerical results. Under actions of incident shock waves, Richtmyer-Meshkov instability responsible for the flame deformation is induced in the flame, and the distoned flame takes a barrel shape. Then, under subsequent actions of the shock wave reflected from a planar wall, the flame takes an inclined non-symmetrical kidney shape in a symmetric cross section, which means a mushroom-like shape of the flame comes finally into being. The vorticity direction in the ring cap has been altered by the reflected shock＇s action, which makes the head of the mushroom-like flame extend quickly to the side wall.展开更多

A deep-learning-based end-to-end system is used to segment the cells and measure the crack length on the cellular flame front of the spherically expanding flame to quantitively investigate the flame morphology. Moreover, the flame front radius profile is quantitively investigated to shed light on the correlation between disturbance amplitude and flame radius. With the use of the linear stability model, the theoretical critical flame radius and Peclet number are obtained and compared to their corresponding experimental results to characterize the outset of cellularization and evaluate the flame instability propensity. Our analysis shows that compared with AF and EF, MF is prone to cellularization at a smaller flame radius and has a faster cell proliferation rate and crack length growth rate before reaching the hydrodynamic saturation limit. Meanwhile, the average area of saturated cells tends to be similar for the three furan derivatives. Furthermore,AF premixed flame does not exhibit cellularization before the flame radius is less than 45 mm in low initial pressure.展开更多
