Direct observations of reaction zone structure in shock-induced ignition of methane air mixture

Ignition of methane/air mixture by the passage of a shock wave is an important issue for understanding more details of its gaseous detonation. The experiments of shock-induced ignition of stoichiometric methane/air mixture were conducted on a shock tube platform, The reaction zone structure in weak and strong ignition cases were investigated by digital chemiluminescence imaging and planar laser induced fluorescence （PLIF） techniques. Due to smaller gradients in induced time in weak ignition, which provided more time to nonlinear chemical reaction process, the results show that the reaction structures are highly nonuniform in those weak ignition cases, which become more regular while induced shock waves become stronger. In strong ignition case, it gives a typical detonation structure. The characteristics of reaction zone released by single-pulsed OH PLIF technique agreed well with other experimental measurements in this paper and were also in accord with the conclusions of previous researches. The successful implementation of the PLIF system has explored a new high temporally and spatially resolved method for the study of interaction between shock wave and gaseous matter in shock tube.     

单缝流体推力矢量喷管的气动特性

流体矢量喷管重量轻,便于维修,应用前景可观。但二次流的存在造成了流场振荡,因此研究矢量喷管的流动特性具有重要的理论和工程意义。运用数值模拟方法,通过在二元收扩(2DCD)喷管的扩张段引入二次流,研究激波控制的流体推力矢量喷管的气动特性。利用分离涡模拟(DES)湍流模型进行矢量喷管非定常流场的数值计算,先后得到了流场的流线、涡量系数、密度梯度和熵的分布。结果表明:随着流动的发展,激波不断发生振荡,上、下壁面唇口处生成的涡沿着剪切层外侧不断向下游脱落;尾流内上剪切层的摆动角度和熵增皆大于下剪切层。
