Spark-ignited kernel dynamics in fine ethanol sprays and their relations with minimum ignition energy
Qiang Li, Huangwei Zhang
Spark ignition of ethanol droplet/vapor/air mixture is studied with a Eulerian-Eulerian method and detailed chemical mechanism. The flame kernel-droplet interaction is quantified w…
Forced ignition and oscillating flame propagation in fine ethanol sprays
Qiang Li, Huangwei Zhang
The present work investigates forced ignition and oscillating propagation of spray flame in a mixture of fine ethanol droplets and air. Eulerian-Eulerian method with two-way coupli…
Forced ignition of laminar premixed spherical flames in evaporating fuel droplet mists
Qiang Li, Huangwei Zhang
This study aims to build a theoretical model to describe the ignition process of spherical spray flame laden with fuel droplets under overall fuel-lean condition. Two characteristi…
Propagation of weakly stretched premixed spherical spray flames in localized homogeneous and heterogeneous reactants
Qiang Li, Huangwei Zhang, Chang Shu
Propagation of weakly stretched spherical flames in partially pre-vaporized fuel sprays is theoretically investigated in this work. A general theory is developed to describe flame…
