文摘Compact flame-holders for afterburners are an increasing requirement for modern aero engines.However,flame-holder design is non-trivial since high inlet temperatures,velocities,and elaborate structures induce complex turbulence,combustion,and spray coupling in modern afterburners.In this work,the LES-pdf and stochastic fields-Lagrangian particle spray methods are used to investigate methane and aviation kerosene combustion structures formed by new-type concave flame-holders.The flow pattern,combustion mode,and flame structure of gaseous and liquid fuel around a concave flame-holder are analyzed,discussed,and compared with experimental results.Results reveal that the flame stability of a concave flame-holder is better than that of the non-concave one.Furthermore,when using liquid fuel,the concave flame-holder forms a stable and compact flame.These results suggest concave flame-holders are a promising design for compact afterburners.
