Numerical simulation of the hydrogen flame injected from bluff-body type flameholder

Three-dimensional numerical simulation was made for the hydrogen flame inje cted into the wake of a bluff-body type flameholder placed in an air stream . This analysis of the flame structure was aimed at designing the optimum c ombustion system of high performance. The velocity and pressure field were numerically solved using the SIMPLER algorithm. Turbulence model was based on Myong-Kasagi's low Reynolds number type k-epsilon model. The turbulent c ombustion was simulated by using Magnussen's eddy dissipation model. The si mulated results showed a reasonable agreement with the species concentratio n profile observed in the wake.
