Analyzing Iron Dust Bunsen Flames using Numerical Simulations
Abstract
This article presents numerical simulations of an iron dust Bunsen flame. The results are validated against experimental results. The burning velocity is extracted from the 3D simulation results, as in the experiments. The agreement of the burning velocity between the model and experiment is the best to date for iron dust flames. A comparison is performed between 3D and 1D simulations to improve our understanding of how the 3D Bunsen flame deviates from an ideal 1D flame. This comparison reveals that the co-flow mixes with the post-flame zone, increasing the oxygen concentration in the reaction layer, which increases the burning velocity. Moreover, the analysis also reveals that stretch and curvature affect the burning velocity. These results are valuable for the future development of experimental setups aimed at measuring the burning velocity.
