| 内容記述 | The diffusion controlled binary reaction between initially segregated reactants in a two-dimensional low Mach number mixing layers is studied via numerical simulation. The stoichiometric ratio of the reactants is chosen to be much larger than one, as is typical of hydrocarbon flames in air. This results is a flame that is offset from the main vortical region of the mixing layer. In agreement with experimental observations, the flame remains surprisingly uncontorted during the flow evolution and is not entrained into the mixing layer. The effect of the heat release of the flame on the evolution of the mixing layer is thus similar to the effect of a difference in free-stream density between the two sides of the layer. The resulting baroclinic torque inhibits the familiar rolup and pairing of mixing layer vortices common in constant density flows. This also contributes to the layers inability to entrain the flame. The increase in viscosity caused by the heating of the flame reduces the effective Reynolds number of the flow. But, contrary to what has commonly been suggested, this is not the major reason for the inhibition of the usual large-scale mixing layer structures. |
