Abstract
This study investigates the interaction of a two-dimensional (2D) laminar methane-air premixed flame with a constant temperature wall using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). The flame is excited using velocity perturbations at the inlet for a range of forcing frequencies. The GRI 3.0 chemical mechanism is used to perform the simulations. The flame behaviour is first analysed by comparing the results to those observed for a steady 2D laminar flame interacting with the wall and a one-dimensional head-on quenching (HOQ) flame under the same conditions as the 2D flame. This is followed by analysing the wall heat flux and CO emission due to the flame quenching at the wall for different forcing f..
