Experimental investigation of boundary layer flames and their influence by flame retardants (C06*)

• Subject Area: Mechanical Process Engineering
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 237267381

The aim of the subproject is to better understand thermochemical states and fluid dynamic processes of partially premixed boundary layer flames and their influence by phosphorus-based flame retardants, to contribute to the development of mathematical models and to provide extensive experimental data for the vali-dation of numerical simulations. This includes the investigation of near-wall transport processes that influence the pyrolysis of a polymer and the ignition of a partially premixed boundary layer flame, and the analysis of how partially premixed boundary layer flames are changed by gas-phase active flame retardants.
