Abstract

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) direct numerical simulation (DNS) study of flame-wall interaction (FWI) and flame-cooling air interaction (FCAI). A preheated, methane/air mixture enters a channel with constant temperature walls, where the top wall is effusion cooled. An imposed vertical hot sheet near the inlet creates two flame branches interacting with the top and bottom walls. The flame is observed to be leaner in the region where it interacts with the effusion cooling jets. In this region, the flame is longer and features reduced CO mass fraction. The fluctuations in the heat release rate (HRR) and CO mass fraction are also relatively small near the top wall. Near the bottom..
