Coal, still used to generate more than half of the electric power in the US, will likely be part of
any future global energy plan. But this finite resource is also responsible for 80 percent of …

This article addresses the impact of syngas fuel composition on combustor blowout,
flashback, dynamic stability, and autoignition in premixed, steady flowing combustion …

Boundary layer flashback of swirling turbulent lean-premixed methane–hydrogen–air flames
is investigated in a model combustor featuring a mixing tube with center body. The focus of …

In earlier experimental studies of the authors a previously unknown mechanism leading to
flame flashback—combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB)—was discovered in …

Combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB) generating flame flashback in swirl burners
was investigated experimentally. Since previous work identified the interaction of turbulence …

Fire whirls are powerful, spinning disasters for people and surroundings when they occur in
large urban and wildland fires. Whereas fire whirls have been studied for fire-safety …

Abstract Simultaneous 10-kHz OH-PLIF and 20-kHz two-component PIV were made in
conjunction with wide-field 20-kHz flame luminescence imaging of an unconfined, swirling …

The nonuse of fossil fuels through the introduction of hydrogen energy is an effective option
indispensable for the sustainable development of economic activity. The Mitsubishi Heavy …

The paper analyses new data for three fuels, natural gas, methane and Coke Oven Gas
(COG) in two swirl burners. Flashback and blowoff can be correlated with the inlet tangential …

The effect of swirl, premixedness and geometry has been investigated for hydrogen
enriched premixed flame using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with a Thickened Flame (TF) …
