Cover Story: Hydrogen combustion is a key solution for future low-emission energy systems; however, comprehending flame stabilization in turbulent flows remains a challenge. In the following study, we investigate the complex flow field around a bluff-body flame holder fueled by hydrogen using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The visualization of velocity fields, vortices, and recirculation zones provides critical insights into flame stabilization and lean blowoff mechanisms. These findings contribute to the development of high-efficiency hydrogen combustors, advancing cleaner and more sustainable propulsion and energy systems. View this paper
