Investigation of aerodynamics of improved four-vortex furnace device

Abstract

Abstract In this work, the inner aerodynamics of a perspective vortex furnace device with a four-vortex burner layout scheme is experimentally investigated. Using the contactless optical flow diagnostics method (PIV), the averaged velocity distributions are obtained in a number of cross sections of the furnace model for various modes. The spatial structure of the flow is studied. It is found that the flow consists of four vertical vortices with curved rotation axes.
