AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Inertial-range cascade phenomenology is used to predict Prandtl-number (Pr) dependencies of turbulent flame properties. A unified picture of turbulent flame structure and burning velocity is developed that encompasses all Pr regimes. Implications of the analysis for gaseous flames (Pr near unity), autocatalytic fronts in liquids (high Pr), and astrophysical flames (low Pr) are noted.

The inhibition of methane-air explosions by air jet-driven NaHCO powders and porous barriers was investigated in this study. Flame images and overpressure data were recorded using high-speed cameras and pressure sensors. The inhibition mechanism of NaHCO powder was further investigated using the reaction mechanism of sodium-containing substances and methane combustion.

Wildland fire-atmosphere interaction generates complex turbulence patterns, organized across multiple scales, which inform fire-spread behaviour, firebrand transport, and smoke dispersion. Here, we utilize wavelet-based techniques to explore the characteristic temporal scales associated with coherent patterns in the measured temperature and the turbulent fluxes during a prescribed wind-driven (heading) surface fire beneath a forest canopy. We use temperature and velocity measurements from tower-mounted sonic anemometers at multiple heights.

Climate change and global warming necessitate the shift toward low-emission, carbon-free fuels. Although hydrogen boasts zero carbon content and high performance, its utilization is impeded by the complexities and costs involved in liquefaction, preservation, and transportation. Ammonia has emerged as a viable alternative that offers potential as a renewable energy storage medium and supports the global economy's decarbonization.

In aircraft engines, thermoacoustic oscillations in the combustion chamber contribute significantly to noise emissions, which, like all other emissions, must be drastically reduced. Thermoacoustic oscillations are not only a concern, they can also be beneficial in hydrogen combustion. This work demonstrates that thermoacoustic density oscillations with amplitudes at least an order of magnitude smaller than those resulting from density gradients in a turbulent flame can be detected using laser interferometric vibrometry.

Explosion venting is an effective method to reduce the explosion damage; in order to study the mechanism of an explosion venting process in internal and external space, this paper investigates the influence of vent parameters on hydrogen-air explosion in a rectangular duct through numerical simulation. The model including the internal and external space is first constructed, and then the explosion dynamic behaviors of the full flow field are analyzed under different vent pressures and sizes. The study aims to reveal the coupling effect of the flame, pressure, and flow field on hydrogen explosion venting.
