Two-dimensional analysis of a triple flame

A two-dimensional triple flame numerical model of a combustion process that reflects real flame symmetry features that other reported models do not generate is presented. Results of this modeling include triple flame structure propagation velocity, fuel and oxidizer mass fractions, temperature profiles, and reaction rates. This is accomplished by implementing features such as low heat release, one-step reaction mechanism, realistic reactants' stoichiometric ratios, and the use of a mixture fraction gradient at the inlet as the simulation parameter, when the upstream reactants mass fractions are assumed linear or hyperbolic functions.;This two-dimensional modeling also encompasses analysis of "artificial" chemical kinetics, designed by taking unit reaction orders in the global reaction term and unit stoichiometric mixture ratio, and comparison of the same with experimental kinetics data. This comparison highlights the differences between the two cases in terms of flame symmetry and propagation velocity.
