SANDIA Flame D

Application Challenge AC2-09   © copyright ERCOFTAC 2024

Overview of Tests

The velocity measurements were performed with two-component fiber-optic laser Doppler anemometer (Dantec). All the details of the flow field measuring techniques applied in Sandia Flame D experiment are explained in. Measured scalars for Sandia D Flame include temperature, mixture fraction, N₂, O₂, H₂O, H₂, CH₄, CO, CO₂, OH and NO. Experimental methods and measurement uncertainties are outlined in Spontaneous Raman scattering of the beams from two Nd:YAG lasers (532 nm) was used to measure concentrations of the major species. The Rayleigh scattering signal was converted to temperature using a species-weighted scattering cross section, based on the Raman measurements. Linear laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) was used to measure OH and NO, and the fluorescence signals were corrected on a shot-to-shot basis for variations in Boltzmann fraction and collisional quenching rate. The concentration of CO was measured by Raman scattering and by two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (TPLIF).

TEST CASE EXP1

Description of Experiment

The Application Challenge includes just one test case, Sandia Flame D with defined Reynolds number of the fuel jet and the fuel and pilot flame compositions as given in Table EXP-A.

Boundary Data

The inlet mean and fluctuating velocity at the distance x/D=1 from the burner are shown in Fig.3. The inlet parabolic profile had a maximum at the centre of the fuel nozzle of U_max = 62 m/s. The pilot flame bulk velocity U_pilot = 11.4 m/s and the coflow velocity U_cfl = 0.9 m/s.

Measurement Errors

The flow field measurement statistical errors are estimated in as below 5% for the mean velocities and within 10% for fluctuating components. The scalar measurement errors are estimated and analyzed in. The relative uncertainty (not including statistical noise or potential effects of spatial averaging) is estimated to be within 2% for the Raman measurements, 5% for OH, 5% for CO, and 10% for NO.
