Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Flow Field and Soot Particle Size Distribution of Methane-Containing Gas Mixtures in a Swirling Burner.

ABSTRACT: The formation of soot in a swirling flow is investigated experimentally and numerically in the context of biogas combustion using a CO₂-diluted methane/oxygen flame. Visualization of the swirling flow field and characterization of the burner geometry is obtained through PIV measurements. The soot particle size distributions under different fuel concentrations and swirling conditions are measured, revealing an overall reduction of soot concentration and smaller particle sizes with increasing swirling intensities and leaner flames. An axisymmetric two-dimensional CFD model, including a detailed combustion reaction mechanism and soot formation submodel, was implemented using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code (Ansys Fluent). The results are compared with the exper
