AB - Compact flame-holders for afterburners are an increasing requirement for modern aero engines. However, flame-holder design is non-trivial since high inlet temperatures, velocities, and elaborate structures induce complex turbulence, combustion, and spray coupling in modern afterburners. In this work, the LES-pdf and stochastic fields-Lagrangian particle spray methods are used to investigate methane and aviation kerosene combustion structures formed by new-type concave flame-holders. The flow pattern, combustion mode, and flame structure of gaseous and liquid fuel around a concave flame-holder are analyzed, discussed, and compared with experimental results. Results reveal that the flame stability of a concave flame-holder is better than that of the non-concave one. Furthermore, when using liquid fuel, the concave flame-holder forms a stable and compact flame. These results suggest concave flame-holders are a promising design for compact afterburners.
