Abstract
An experimental study of methane-air flame propagation in a duct is reporte d. A flat duct was chosen to allow optical visualization and flame propagat ion measurements. The duct was equipped with optical-quality windows to all ow Schlieren visualization and particle image velocimetry (PIV) velocity me asurements. The flame propagation velocity, flow structure, and velocity di stribution in the flame for a different air excess factor are reported. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
