This workshop aimed to analyze the structure of spray flames and improve measurement and post-processing techniques for more reliable results in future meetings of the Engine Combustion Network. The workshop focused on flame phases, operating conditions, hardware comparisons, and 2D and 1D profiles.

Experimental analysis between LIF-OH/355 from IFPEN, SANDIA and TU/e • H. Baya Toda, M. Meijer, N. Maes, S. Skeen, L. Pickett, LM, Malbec, G. Bruneaux Third Workshop of the Engine Combustion Network, April 4-5, 2014, Ann Arbor, USA,
Objectives • Analyze the spray flame structure • Assess the repeatability of measurements among different institutions • Improve measurements/post-processing for more reliable results for next ECN meetings
Contents • Flame phases – spray A • Operating conditions for comparisons • Hardware comparisons • 2D and 1D profiles comparisons
Analysis of flame phases – Spray A SOC EOI I II III FL FTP sR sinert LOL OH* LOL(t) Sources of information • Shadowgraphy (CMT) • OH* Chemiluminescence LOL OH* (CMT) • Broadband chemiluminescence • FTP(t) = Flame Tip Penetration (CMT) • LOL(t) (Sandia)
Analysis of flame phases – Spray A SOC EOI I II III FL FTP sR sinert LOL OH* LOL(t) Combustion stages • (I) = Autoignition and early development • From SOC until reacting penetration accelerates over inert case • The reacting spray undergoes a transition from inert to reacting flow
Analysis of flame phases – Spray A SOC EOI I II III FL FTP sR sinert LOL OH* LOL(t) Combustion stages • (II) = Mature flame • From the end of (I) until EOI • (IIA) Transient mature flame – LOL still unsteady (upto 2000 us) • (IIB) Quasi-steady mature flame – LOL steady but FTP increasing (upto 4000 us) • (IIC) Steady flame – FTP steady (FL)
Analysis of flame phases – Spray A SOC EOI I II III FL FTP sR sinert LOL OH* LOL(t) Combustion stages • (III) = Burn-out phase • From EOI onwards
Operating conditions for comparisons SOC EOI I II III FL FTP sR sinert LOL OH* LOL(t) * Assuming an identical hydraulic delay as at IFPEN: 300us
Hardware differences * Measurements were performed with two laser sheets
Flame structure – Spray A Reaction zone Formaldehyde PAH Liquid phase Hot burnt gases The formaldehyde structure decreaseswhenincreasingtempereature/ [O2] The PLIF-OH signal start « almost » at LOL (OH*)
PLIF-355: 2D comparisons PAH Formaldehyde
PLIF-355: 2D comparisons IFPEN SANDIA
PLIF-355: 2D comparisons Formaldehyde
PLIF-OH: 2D comparisons t = 0.7 ms ASOI • Not the samepenetration • Ambient conditions ? • Injector to injector variations ? • Hydraulicdelay ? • Not the same structure ? • Laser profile correction ? • Timing ? • AI delaydifferences ?
PLIF-OH: 2D comparisons t = 0.7 ms ASOI 0.7 ms 0.4 ms 4.7 ms 0.7 - 1 ms
Conclusions • Good agreement for PLIF-355 measurments • Transient (IFPEN and SANDIA) • Steady phase (IFPEN,TU/e and SANDIA) • Good agreement for PLIF-OH measurements at steady state phase • PLIF-OH comparisons during transient phases are more difficult and need more time for investigation • PLIF-OH from TU/e more suitable for LOL estimation because of the stable energy laser
Thank you to all the contributors and good luck to the CFD GUYS !
