Effects of boundary layer displacement and separation on opposed-flow flame spread
An analysis is presented of the viscous-inviscid interaction region around the tip of a flame spreading over the surface of a solid fuel in a forced laminar high Reynolds number air stream that opposes the flame propagation. Through the interaction. the vaporization of the solid and the thermal expansion of the gas originate an adverse pressure gradient upstream of the flame tip. which leads to...
متن کاملMicrogravity opposed-flow flame spread in polyvinyl chloride tubes
The effects of gravity on opposed-flow flame spread in a confined geometry were investigated experimentally in the 2.2-s drop tower at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Pure oxygen flowed through samples of 0.64-cminner-diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing held either horizontally or vertically in a combustion chamber filled with nitrogen. The sample was ignited in normal gravity with a hot w...
متن کاملEffect of Gap Height on Thin Fuel Opposed Flow Flame Spread in the Narrow Channel Apparatus
The Narrow Channel Apparatus (NCA) is designed to establish a fully developed laminar flow profile above and below a thin, flat, solid fuel or on one side of a thick fuel for flame spread investigations. Due in part to its ability to suppress buoyantly-induced flow, the NCA is under investigation as a possible test method for screening materials for space flight applications. This study focused...
متن کاملInfluence of Afterbody and Boundary Layer on Cavitating Flow
The characteristics of a cavitation water tunnel test setup and the experiments of cavitation around different models are given in this paper. Models of test are formed from combination of head and variable length afterbody. The experiments are performed initially with the smooth head and then with the roughened head. Cavitation initiates both in the wake and after the head. If the nose of mode...
متن کاملStratified Flow over Topography: Wave Generation and Boundary Layer Separation
We have performed laboratory experiments to study wave generation over and in the lee of model topography. We have chosen to use periodic, finite-amplitude hills which are representative of the Earth’s major mountain ranges as well as the repetitious topographic features of the ocean floor. The topographic shapes are selected to encompass varying degrees of roughness, from smoothly-varying sinu...
