And this beauty is a H2-NH3 premixed flame waiting for us to start measuring ;)

This research is part of a big project funded by the EU (GREENH2CM) to study hydrogen combustion, and we are looking for a postdoc to study the dynamics of these flames in a high-pressure environment. If you are interested, see details below

Hydrogen flames are “almost” invisible. A lot more information can be extracted from this footage using more advanced visualization techniques. Using them, we can reveal the intricate complexity of the propagation of hydrogen flames. Do not miss the second half of the video

The second part of the video shows a very different situation. Now the ignition takes place at the open end and the reactive front propagates towards the closed end of the chamber. The much slower velocity let us appreciate how hydrodynamic instabilities deform the flame.

[UC3M Fluid Mechanics Group @UC3M_FLUIDS_LAB]

The video below shows the propagation of a premixed flame in a narrow gap (<1 cm). The ignition is induced by a cable that spans the whole width of the combustion chamber. In the video, you can easily identify the yellowish glowing cable at the top of the images.

The first few seconds illustrates the (very) fast propagation of a flame that is ignited near the closed end of the chamber and propagates towards the open end. Gas expansion accelerates the reactive front that becomes up to ten times faster than freely propagating flames.

The formation of isolated flame fronts is controlled by the balance between heat losses and the heat released by the flame. Both flame structures are stable and may occur simultaneously. Details: https://t.co/y0Nr2vWwio

We are looking for a Postdoc to join our group starting in September. More details can be found at the following link:

@Basulab_IISc Is this methane?
