Abstract

© 2024 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.Direct numerical simulation of flame-wall interaction (FWI) for two flame configurations under different laminar burning velocity to nonreacting wall friction velocity ratio, SL/uτNR, have been performed. The first configuration considered is a V-flame in a turbulent channel flow with isothermal inert walls and represents oblique wall interaction. The second configuration is representative of head-on interaction (HOI) of a planar flame interacting with a wall in a fully developed turbulent boundary layer. In the case of the V-flame with SL/uτNR=0.4, a smaller flame angle is obtained when compared with that of the V-flame with SL/uτNR=0.7. This is a consequence of the differences in the turbulent burning velocities between the two V-flame cases, where the case with SL/uτNR=0.4 has a lower turbulent burning velocity when compared with that of the case with SL/uτNR=0.7. By contrast, the ratio of turbulent to laminar burning velocity is higher for the SL/uτNR=0.4 HOI case when compared to the corresponding HOI case with SL/uτNR=0.7. The flame orientations with respect to the streamwise component of velocity and wall-normal direction in addition to the SL/uτNR values have been found to have a significant impact on the variations of wall heat flux, wall shear stress, and wall friction velocity in premixed FWI within turbulent boundary layers. The behaviors of nondimensional streamwise velocity, u+, and nondimensional temperature using wall units, T+, have also been investigated for different SL/uτNR ratios and it is found that the standard log-law profiles in the case of u+ and T+ are not valid for the two configurations and the two SL/uτNR ratios considered.
