Numerical simulation of a V-shaped flame
The work is devoted to numerical simulation of combustion processes using the software package FlowVision. The inverted conical flame was used as an object, which was formed by stabilizing the normal conical flame with an external stabilizer - a thin cylinder (wire) placed perpendicular to the main flow. When using this type of stabilizer, the flame takes the form of V or M, depending on a combination of factors: the flow rate, the fuel equivalence ratio, gravity forces. The numerical results show a good agreement with the experimental data based on the flame geometry. It was shown the possibility of using numerical simulation based on the FlowVision package to study the dynamics of a flame of complex geometric shape.
