Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Unsteadiness in chemically reacting flows is ubiquitous. In many practical cases, the appearance of combustion instabilities is undesirable, and obtaining physical insights into their mechanisms is scientifically important and challenging. Our understanding of flame dynamics, intrinsic instabilities in premixed and nonpremixed flames, and the effects of coupling with other system instabilities has advanced in recent years. This Special Issue of Fluids invites the submission of contributions on new developments in our fundamental understanding of these unsteady phenomena, novel CFD-based and/or data-driven modeling of flame dynamics and combustion instabilities, and advanced techniques for diagnostics and control.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fluids is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

A measurement technique for determination of the global and local equivalence ratios from the flame chemiluminescence for a swirl-stabilized lean premixed combustion of natural gas and kerosene is presented. First, we conducted spectrally resolved chemiluminescence studies using an imaging spectrometer to correlate the ratio of individual chemiluminescence signals to the equivalence ratio. Flame spectra were recorded for a multitude of different lean operating conditions for natural gas and kerosene combustion. The spectra show that, without background correction, the CH*/CO2* ratios for both natural gas and kerosene combustion exhibited a monotonic relationship to the equivalence ratio in the investigated range. Subsequently, bandpass-filtered images of CH* and CO2* chemiluminescence were acquired simultaneously on one camera chip using an image doubler to investigate the local relationship of the CH*/CO2* ratio with the equivalence ratio. The ratio images corroborate the monotonic relationship of the CH*/CO2* ratio to the equivalence ratio. Furthermore, the ratio was found to be influenced by the local reaction zone temperature. The presented technique allows high temporal resolution determination of the local equivalence ratio in lean premixed natural gas and kerosene flames and can thus be applied to quantify equivalence ratio oscillations during unstable combustion.
