    壁面约束对甲烷掺氨旋流燃烧的影响机制研究

    Investigation of the Influence Mechanism of Wall Confinement on CH4/NH3 Swirl Combustion

    • 摘要: 在“双碳目标”背景下,甲烷与氨的掺混燃烧在燃气工业中具有重要降碳前景。燃烧室壁面约束是影响燃烧特性的重要因素,其对掺氨燃烧的影响机制尚未得到深入揭示。为阐明燃烧室壁面约束对甲烷掺氨旋流燃烧的影响机制,采用实验测量、CFD数值模拟及化学反应器网络分析(CRN)等方法,系统研究了不同壁面约束条件对甲烷掺氨旋流燃烧的火焰结构、流动特性及NO生成的影响规律。研究结果表明,随着约束比从5.8增大至14.9,中心回流区域显著扩大,回流强度提高,伴随着降低的主流射流速度与湍流动能。同时,火焰区域逐渐向外扩张,火焰面积增大,局部自发光强度显著降低。另一方面,壁面约束对NO排放的影响严重依赖于燃烧气氛,在贫燃和化学当量气氛下,增大约束比可使NO排放降低幅度超过40%;而在富燃气氛下,NO排放对约束条件的敏感性大幅减弱。通过CFD-CRN分析表明,改变Rc并不会从根本上影响NO反应路径的相对贡献,但会同时削弱所有NO生成与消耗路径,这是由于降低的湍流强度减弱了湍流化学反应速率。此外,本研究验证了CFD-CRN联合分析方法在求解物种浓度方面的可靠性,可准确捕捉NO排放的变化趋势和定量数值,提供了高效低成本的模拟手段。

       

      Abstract: Under the context of the “dual-carbon” targets, methane-ammonia blended combustion offers significant decarbonization potential for gas and power industries. Wall confinement in the combustor is a key factor influencing combustion characteristics; however, its impact mechanism on ammonia-blended combustion has not yet been fully elucidated. To clarify the effects of wall confinement on methane-ammonia swirl combustion, a combined approach of experimental measurements, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulations, and chemical reactor network (CRN) analysis was employed to systematically investigate the influences of different wall confinement conditions on flame structure, flow characteristics, and NO formation behavior. The results show that as the confinement ratio increases from 5.8 to 14.9, the central recirculation zone expands significantly and the recirculation intensity is enhanced, accompanied by a reduction in main jet velocity and turbulent kinetic energy. Meanwhile, the flame gradually spreads outward, the flame area increases, and the local chemiluminescence intensity decreases markedly. In addition, the effect of wall confinement on NO emissions strongly depends on the combustion atmosphere. Under lean and near-stoichiometric conditions, increasing the confinement ratio can reduce NO emissions by more than 40%, whereas under rich conditions, the sensitivity of NO emissions to wall confinement is substantially weakened. CFD-CRN analysis further indicates that changing the confinement ratio does not fundamentally alter the relative contributions of dominant NO reaction pathways, but simultaneously weakens both NO formation and consumption rates due to the reduction in turbulence intensity and associated turbulent–chemical inter-actions. Furthermore, this study validates the reliability of the coupled CFD-CRN approach in predicting species concentrations, demonstrating its capability to accurately capture both the trend and magnitude of NO emissions, and providing an efficient, low-cost simulation tool for engineering applications.
