铝粉燃料水冲压发动机火焰吹熄特性
Flame blow-off characteristics in an aluminum powder-fueled water ramjet engine
摘要
Abstract
Aluminum powder-fueled water ramjet engines demonstrate promising application potential in high-speed underwater propulsion and air-water trans-medium vehicles.However,excessively high powder injection velocities may prevent flame stabilization in the combustion chamber and even lead to blow-off.This study investigates the flame blow-off characteristics of such engines through experimental and numerical methods,aiming to delineate the stable ignition operating range and provide guidance for the design of powder injection velocities.The results indicate that the near-blow-off limit under the current experimental conditions is 48 m/s.Increasing the injection velocity reduces the mixing efficiency between aluminum particles and surrounding steam as well as the local oxygen-fuel ratio.Under the low-velocity blow-off condition of 50 m/s,a transient flame is established ahead of the primary water inlet before even-tual blow-off occurs.In contrast,under the high-velocity blow-off condition of 60 m/s,the flame is directly expelled from the combustor once formed.A particle ignition analysis method based on the Damköhler number(Da)was es-tablished,revealing that the average Da decreases with increasing injection velocity.The ignition potential remains above 60%under stable flame conditions but drops to 43.6%near the blow-off limit.A characteristic"end-cluster dis-tribution pattern"of Da is observed near blow-off condition,manifested by a significant increase in low-Da particles,a sharp decrease in high-Da particles,and relatively slight variation in the mid-range Da particles.关键词
