Abstract:
The objective of the present research is to build on our understanding of the fundamental properties of propagating large-scale dust flames by addressing i the hydrodynamics of dust dispersion, and ii determining dust flame properties, including speed and propagation limits, scaling laws, and radiative properties. This project consists of a combination of lab- and field-scale experiments utilizing optical and spectroscopic techniques coupled with the development of thermochemical models supported by hydrocode computations. The thermal structure of propagating and stabilized dust flames has been determined and spectroscopic measurements give insight into the particle combustion regime.
