Abstract

ABSTRACT: The lifted flame with hot co-flow can represent typical combustion features in the practical systems with recirculation of the combustion product. In this study, the methane/air lifted flame was simulated by large eddy simulation. Regarding the special stabilization mechanism in the lifted flame, two different one-step methane oxidation mechanisms were used: (i) the conventional mechanism widely used in engineering simulations and (ii) a modified mechanism considering the effects of the equivalence ratio. By comparing the simulation results with the experimental data, both mechanisms could predict the liftoff phenomenon; however, the simulation using the modified mechanism provided more reasonable results.
