Experiments with ethanol combustion on horizontal surfaces revealed the most general properties of a boundary
layer with chemical and phase transformations. The list of flow features includes development of large-scale structures and
manifestation of volumetric forces, which impact the flow stability and heat and mass transfer. It was demonstrated that
the range of velocities ensuring flame existence is wider for flow past a rib than for flow past a backward-facing step.
The nature of mass transfer in a reactive flow past an obstacle is transient and remains of that kind until the flame
blow-off. For a flow above a horizontal wall at Reynolds numbers Re < 510
4
, the intensity of mass transfer is twice
higher than for combustion below the wall. When the combustion occurs below the wall, the surface temperature gradients
are higher.
Key words: heat and mass transfer, boundary layer, combustion, large-scale structures, flame blow-off, volumetric
forces, transient regimes.
Introduction
The tools for gas mixing are instrumental for control of heat and mass transfer near
the surface. This is achieved through variations in the level of mass and volumetric forces,
degree of air flow turbulence, creation of zones with separated and reattached flow, and
through a longitudinal pressure gradient. If gas combustion takes place, mixing and chemical
reactions are mutually related; therefore, it is important to know the limits when both processes
remain steady under external flow disturbances. Placement of obstacles in the flow creates
direct impact on the boundary layer structure, which defines the flame blow-off velocity.
The influence of an obstacle on heat and mass transfer for the cases of non-reactant boundary
layer and for combustion flow has certain similarities and differences.
The results of publications [14] indicate that flow without combustion creates
a zone of return flow past an obstacle. Downstream the obstacle, the reattachment zone
with high turbulence and transfer intensity is found. Paper [5] presents an empirical rela-
tionship for maximal levels of transfer coefficients in the reattachment zone. According
to data from [6, 7], several zones of this type can exist on a wall. The authors of papers [8]

noted that recovery of the boundary layer to the turbulent state after flow separation is
very slow.
For some cases, when flow-wall interaction induces curving of streamlines, different
manifestations of mass forces are observed. Quantitative measurements for axisymmetric
supersonic jets from [9] revealed existence of steady azimuthal irregularities in the distribution
of gas-dynamic parameters. This irregularity is associated with longitudinal vortices.
The streamwise maldistribution on the jet periphery (the jet exiting a converging nozzle
with the Vitoshinsky profile) was observed in experiments [10] at rather low air flow velocities
(5 m/s). As the streamline curvature was reduced (this was achieved through attachment
of a cylindrical section to the nozzle exit), the streamwise structures at the channel outlet dis-
appeared. Visualization data for transversal cross sections in experiments [11] showed a link
between the facts of streamwise structures and opposite-rotation vortices. This flow pattern has
paired vortices: they interact, interlace, and merge. The authors of paper [12] believed that
the growth of streamwise vortices is caused by their interaction with low-scale turbulence in
outer media. The research [13] was focused on correlation measurements of hydrogen con-
centration in a jet emerging into air; the authors made a conclusion about growing contribution
of large-scale pulsations at high distances from the nozzle.
In paper [14], the bending of streamlines was related to supersonic gas flow past a dihe-
dral obtuse angle. The streamwise vortices were observed in the boundary layer: the vortex
sizes were close to dimensions of the studied object. The modern state of research in the field
of large-scale structures in subsonic overflow by an isothermal air flow at low turbulence
(Tu
0
< 0.1 %) is presented in paper [15]. This research was focused on boundary layer stability
on flat and curved surfaces. The streamwise structures were considered as intermediary forms
in the laminar-to-turbulent transition.
The incentives for further studies of this type of flow require the knowledge of quantita-
tive metrics for their influence on transfer processes. The authors of paper [16] noted that
streamwise structures help in entrainment of liquid into a gas flow. Away from the nozzle, this
process overwhelms the process of liquid entrainment by coherent structures. These effects
were considered together with other cases of curvilinear gas flow see paper [17]. It has been
demonstrated that heat transfer rate almost doubles for a boundary layer with TailorGoertler
vortex generation. The paper [18] emphasized the relation between streamline curvature and
development of buoyancy force in stratified liquid. Accepting the analogy between momentum
transfer and circulation transfer in a bent flow, as well as a hypothesis about a mixing path,
the authors of [19] obtained the shear stress distribution and the heat flux distribution in
a boundary layer. They demonstrated that for a concave wall, the heat transfer and skin fric-
tion might increase by factor of 1.41.8, while for a convex geometry, these processes
were attenuated by 3040 %, depending on the enthalpy factor.
The publications [20, 21] are known: they study mixed convection on a hot horizontal
plate (without combustion). These studies present data on defining the conditions for manife-
station of volumetric forces (buoyancy effects). The authors of [22] concluded that for a hori-
zontal boundary layer with unsteady density stratification, the heat transfer is higher. Two cas-
es were considered in paper [23]: heat transfer on a ceiling and on a floor. The authors
believe that a streamwise pressure gradient develops in a boundary layer: this effect might dis-
tort the velocity profiles and cause the flow separation above the heated wall.
In burning technologies, it is preferable to ensure flame stability even for a situation
of significant gas stratification on the density (when buoyancy develops in gravity field).
The research [24] dealt with a burner without flame stabilizer. It was shown that with a higher air
flow velocity, the front edge of flame shifted in the downstream direction. For a need of com-
bustion stabilization, researchers used the same types of obstructions as for nonreactive flow:
namely, they were ribs and steps [25] which induced gas flow rotation and formed up the mass

forces field. It was found for a flat boundary layer past a rib that the obstacle lifts up the flame
above the horizontal wall; heat fluxes become lower, but the heat transfer coefficients for case
of combustion/no combustion keep their similarity. This research did not bring any comparison
with other methods for flame stabilization. Combustion of a round uprising jet of natural gas
fuel was considered in paper [26] for a situation of flame stabilized by a disk (axisymmetric
analog of a rib) or by a backward-facing step. The research demonstrated that among the criti-
cal parameters, we can name the flame holder dimensions, its configuration, and the gas flow
velocity. For the first version of obstacle (disk), the flame blow-off occurs earlier than for
the second version. It was proved in paper [27] that a backward-facing step ensures better
flame stability. Development of coherent vortex structures past an obstacle was observed. But
when the flame approaches the backward-facing step, these structures are not observed at all.
The authors of this paper assumed that combustion stability in a higher degree depends on
the mixing intensity than on the chemical reaction kinetics. Experiments in [28] were per-
formed for a flame stabilized by a backward-facing step or by a rectangular parallelepiped.
These experiments were carried out for methane blow-in through a porous wall; the flame was
detected in a horizontal channel with the height of 250 mm and width of 30 mm. For the geo-
metry of that narrow channel, no streamwise structures were observed; the irreversible flame
blow-off took place at air velocity ~2.53 m/s. The same level of flame blow-off velocity was
observed in [29], when the combustion data was obtained for a sample with the diameter
of 20 mm.
The influence of mainstream turbulence and the rib height on mass transfer in a boundary
layer above a horizontal wall with a subsonic flow was studied in paper [30]. The authors
compared the data for cases of evaporation with/without combustion. It was demonstrated
that for the inlet turbulence of ~1 %, the flame blow-off velocity U
b
(past a rib with height
h = 3 mm) can be as high as 70 m/s; this velocity becomes lower with the increase of turbulence
in the main flow; this critical velocity is higher for a higher rib. The range for variation
of mass transfer coefficients during combustion past an obstacle is almost twice wider than for
nonreactive flow. The splitting of experimental data on mass transfer was found [7, 31].
For Reynolds numbers Re < 210

, this splitting of the relative mass flow on a wall

was generalized by a family of power functions

J where the multiplier
1, 2, 3,..., = and the power index are typical of a laminar boundary layer. The authors of paper
[32] carried out measurements in a boundary layer above the upper horizontal wall
of a channel with hydrogen-nitrogen mixture delivery through the wall and combustion
of this mixture. The research demonstrated fulfilment of a triple Reynolds analogy in
a reactive flow. Obviously, the task of estimating the buoyancy contribution needs com-
parison of heat and mass transfer below the upper wall and above the lower wall (for
the same flow regimes).
The research demonstrated different situations for developing of large-scale flow struc-
tures; they have ambiguous effect on flame stability and transfer processes; this creates incen-
tives for further studying of roots of developing of that type of gasdynamic maldistribution.
The list of roots may include development of volumetric and mass forces due to bending
of streamlines or due to changes in the gas density. The present research considers only several
aspects of the mixed convection problem for combustion on horizontal walls of a channel,
while the density stratification and gas rotation behind an obstacle take place. The research goal
is the most general empirical data about influence of volumetric forces on the flow pattern, on
flow stability and transfer processes; we want to demonstrate also that flow rotation movement (as
a reason for generating the mass forces on a planar wall) retains with increasing distance from
an obstacle.

Experimental equipment
Liquid fuel combustion was studied near a flat surface; combustion was organized in
a wind tunnel [30, 33] with a working section having a rectangular cross section 100100 mm
and the length of 700 mm (Fig. 1). Transparent side walls were composed of a set of quartz
plates. The working section was connected directly to a wind-tunnel contractor with compression
factor equal to 6.8. The turbulence control was performed by installing at the contractor inlet
of either a grid with 15 threaded holes ( 271.5, distance between hole centers was 43 mm),
or a wire mesh with cells 11 mm. The turbulence level at the channel inlet (Tu
0
= 8 %,
18 %, 26 %) was assigned via a number of open holes in the grid (correspondingly, 25, 9, or 5).
In experiments with a mesh at the channel inlet, the turbulence was Tu
0
= 1 %.
The working section configuration has been adapted to a specific experiment. For expe-
riments on heat and mass transfer, the horizontal surfaces were made of porous plates with the
sizes 8080 mm (thickness 1015 mm, porosity ~60 %); the porous plates were manufactured
by sintering of stainless steel balls. The number of plates varied from four to seven, and they
were installed either at the ceiling or at the floor of the rectangular channel. For experi-
ments with LDA diagnostic tools, when the air flow carried quartz power particles, the porous
floor plates were replaced with dishes filled with a bed of glass-beads (beads diameter was
0.70.15 mm).
When the flame was stabilized with a backward-facing step, the contractors surface was
covered by a second wall reproducing the contractor geometry (or with deviation form original
geometry). At the channel inlet, we installed a movable wall with a transverse section for con-
structing a backward-facing step with a variable height h < 7 mm. When experiments on fuel
combustion past a rib were conducted, we used a transverse plate at the channel inlet (the plate over
the entire channel width). The plate edge was lifted above the wall by height h < 15 mm.
In our experiments with zero-acceleration configuration and without streamwise pressure
gradient (dP/dx = 0), we removed the top of the channel. However, in experiments with flow
acceleration, the velocity law along the channel was assigned by instating a flexible top wall
(the wall length was 400 mm).
The liquid fuel was ethanol (96 % water solution). The fuel supply system ensured a con-
stant level of liquid fuel in the porous plates (or in the beaded bed), which must be kept wet
during experiments. The ethanol combustion rate J
W
(kg/s/m
2
) was self-regulated according to the
conditions of convective heat and mass transfer with the zone of combustion. The fuel flow rate was
measured for every porous plate via variation in the ethanol level in the measurement reservoirs.
The measurements accuracy was ~5 %. The chromel/alumel thermocouples were welded to
the side faced to the gas flow. The accuracy of assignment of wall boundary conditions
(T
W
= const, C
W
= const) was ensured by the fact that evaporation and combustion process
was almost adiabatic. The temperature of evaporating film was constant at the level
T
W
~ 340.50.5 K and independent of the inlet air velocity U
0
(this velocity was independent
of the flow turbulence Tu

, obstacle height h, and downstream distance x, if U
0

> 10 m/s
[34]). The mass fraction of fuel on the
wall, observed from the saturation curve,
was taken equal to C
W
= 0.8.

The temperature in a boundary layer was measured with a platinum/platinum-rhodium
thermocouple made of wire with the diameter of 50 microns. Laser Doppler anemometer was
installed for measuring of local velocities. The LDA optical part on the base of LADO-2
[35] provided measurement of two components of velocity with the space resolution
of 0.10.10.5 mm. This part was allocated above the working section on a 3D movable plat-
form; the travel range in the longitudinal direction was x = 500 mm, in vertical direction
y = 50 mm, and for transverse direction z = 50 mm. The measurement accuracy for average
velocity was better than 2 %. The light scattering elements were the quartz particles
(mean-modal size ~1 micrometer); this powder was fed into the wind tunnel in the inlet cross
section of the flow contractor.
Experimental results
Figure 2 depicts pictures of a boundary layer on the ceiling at the air velocity reduced
to 3.5 m/s, when it was possible to compare different methods of flame stabilization (air flow
from left to the right, channel without the lower wall, camera Canon A490). When the flame
was without stabilization (upper picture), the front edge of flame was drifted downstream from
the front end of the porous plate (the light strop on the left). When the air velocity was
increased to U
0
> 4 m/s, combustion failed. But when the backward-facing step was installed,
the front edge of the flame attaches to the obstacle (not shown) and remains nearby until the flame
blow-off. Behind a 3-mm rib (lower image), the flame is separated from the obstacle,
and several longitudinal strips are visible. The distance between strips is ~25 mm.
This type of experiments demonstrates the need for flow stabilization and proves exis-
tence of certain across dimension for streamwise structures. This size had not been ensured
in known experiments [28], and these streamwise structures had not been observed there.
When we deal with experimental study of large-scale structures, it is important to remember
that every structure is a separate element of entire flow with its own temperature and velocity
distribution; they make up the whole gas flow and interact with other similar elements.
Whenever the color irregularities in flame (Fig.1) visualize the gas-dynamic fea-
tures of a reactive flow, the domination of channel-length-scaled streamwise structures
becomes obvious. They are movable in transversal direction; the irregularities intersect, in-
termingle, and interact with each other. In the downstream direction, the number of structures
becomes lower, but their sizes are bigger. When we study a boundary layer past an obstacle, it
is important to see the spatial connection between gas-dynamic and heat parameters within
the limits of a separate irregularity in the flow.
The existing tools do not allow tracing the development of nonstationary structures,
therefore, the experimental conditions have been adapted to capabilities of our measurement
technique. The distribution of irregular structures for a flow with combustion on the floor pro-
duce contrasting images as shown in Fig. 2 (bottom picture), only when the channel has a con-
verging geometry. Measurements in the
y-z plane were carried out at the exit
cross section at the distance from the
obstacle = 400 mm (inlet velocity was

of the channel was 98 mm, the outlet height was 49 mm, and the channel had a plain upper wall).
Experiments gave us the temperature profiles T(y, z), and the V(y, z) profile was obtained with
direct LDA measurements with a transverse step equal to z = 5 mm. Figure 3 (top picture)
demonstrates the data for coordinate = 8 mm (V = 0, the starting point was chosen arbitrarily).
The irregularities in V(z) profile demonstrate a sequence of zones with gas rotation, where
the angular velocity was about ~V/z ~ 40 (s
1
). Figure 3 (bottom picture) shows the iso-
therms in the same cross section. One can see the same nature of allocations of zones with tem-
perature and velocity irregularities.
Therefore, the flame-color irregularities in a boundary layer of reactive flow past an ob-
stacle correspond to streamwise vortices with opposite directions of rotation. The irregularities
in temperature distributions are in the same places as the transversal velocity irregularities.
The longwise velocity U(z) is almost constant for the considered scale of flow (at y = const).
The data shown in Fig. 3 demonstrate that every vortex has own distribution of velocity,
temperature, and angular momentum. Obviously, these features might influence the whole
flow characteristics (stability, heat and mass transfer).
It has been mentioned above that the backward-facing step stabilized flame has a front
edge attached to the obstacle until the flame blow-off takes place. This does not happen for
situations of flame stabilization with a rib: a no-flame zone exists between the obstacle and
the flame. The flame edge makes up a flame roll: this roll is distanced from the rib by 515 mm.
This feature (peculiarity of flow past an obstacle) is critical for the boundary layer structure
and combustion stability.
As the streamline velocity becomes higher, the flame zone past a rib or past a backward-
facing step at the downstream distance ~ (2530)h becomes thinner and thinner: disruptions
in flame occur. The level of air velocity when the flame disruptions occur was subjectively
(with accuracy ~ 12 m/s) associated with the flame blow-off velocity U
b
. If U
0
> U
b
, the flame
breaks up and reversing of combustion zone takes place; the flame stays behind the obstacle
where it was absent for U
0
< U
b
, and it disappears in the places of existence before blow-off.
The flame blow-off velocity is a function of obstacle height and upstream turbulence. Figure 4
presents the data on flame past a rib [30] and past a backward-facing step; one can see the differ-
ences between these two approaches for flame stabilization. If the intensity of external turbu-
lence does not exceed 2025 %, then the combustion stability behind a rib (1) is higher than
behind a backward-facing step. For these two types of stabilization geometries, the dependency
of the flame blow-off velocity on the turbulence level exhibits different laws: this dependency
is weaker for a backward-facing step (2) than for situation of combustion behind a rib.
The temperature of gas flow determines the rate of chemical reaction. Possibly that pecu-
liarities in the thermal boundary layer structure can impact the limiting flow velocity when

the flame blow-off occurs. Figure 5 demon-
strates the gas temperature profiles at
the distance from the obstacle equal to =
= 160 mm (for combustion below the upper
wall (3) and on the bottom of channel).
The main flow velocity was U
0
= 10 m/s,
Tu
0
= 1 %. For this cross section, the ther-
mal boundary layer thickness and tempera-
ture level behind the rib on the floor is
higher than for other variants. In the outer
part of the boundary layer, this increment is as high as 300400 K. The experience with com-
bustion on the ceiling indicates that the change in direction of volumetric forces makes
the wall temperature gradients much higher. Which of the observed flow features will influence
the transfer processes and the laminar-turbulent transition?

on the ceiling and for low air velocity (U
0
= 2.5 m/s) the mass transfer is close to a standard
laminar process: mass forces and mixed convection are negligible. As the air velocity becomes
higher (U
0
= 14.2 m/s), we observe a transition to a general law (curve 2), which is typical of
flows with intrinsic rotation.
While ethanol combustion on the floor, the hot gas may go up due to buoyancy;
the wall mass fluxes become higher. The relative fluxes behind an obstacle at velocity U

= 4.03 m/s are close to line 2, but at bigger
distances from the obstacle these fluxes
grow to the level typical of separation flows
(symbols 3 and line 4). With a higher air
flow velocity, the impact of buoyancy forces
on mass transfer becomes lower, but
the contribution of inertia forces and mass
forces gets stronger. The mass transfer

follow the same law. All experimental
data approach line 2, but at high Reynolds
numbers, the experimental data do not reach
line 3, which is plotted for the case of turbulent mass transfer. It follows from publication [17]
that for a boundary layer with ethanol combustion, the mass transfer does not follow turbulent
law even at Re ~210

.
Conclusions
Experiments with ethanol evaporation and combustion on horizontal surfaces provided us
data about most general properties of a boundary layer with chemical and phase transforma-
tions. Among these effects, we observe development of large-scale structures and manifesta-
tion of volumetric forces, which have influence on flow stability and on heat and mass transfer.
Many flow features have been nominated in this research only, and they need further
study.
It was demonstrated that the flow velocity range when combustion exists in boundary
layer is wider for a flow past a rib rather then a backward-facing step. The nature of mass
transfer in the reactive flow past an obstacle becomes transient and remains transient until
the flame blow-off occurs. For the first time, the effect of buoyancy forces on mass transfer in
a boundary layer with evaporation and combustion was demonstrated (for the case of horizontal
surfaces). The essence of this effect is that for Reynolds numbers Re < 510
4
, the rate of mass
transfer for the case of fuel combustion above the wall is twice higher than for the case
of combustion below the wall. But for flow with Re >10
5
, the mass transfer has the same law
both for combustion on the floor and on the ceiling: this is the transient flow mass transfer.
For a flow with combustion below a wall the near-surface temperature gradient is higher.
Possibly, manifestation of law for a transient mass transfer takes place due to existence
of gas-dynamic structures with typical sizes comparable with gas flow dimensions. Existence
of these structures prevents randomization of a reactive gas flow. A possible reason of their
development is intrinsic rotation of gas flow induced by bending of streamlines near the obstruc-
tions. The streamwise large-scale structures are the twin vortices with opposite rotation:
every of two vortices have their own distribution for velocity, temperature, and angular
momentum.
The studied features of a reactive flow suggest that using of a transient flow mode for
transfer control gives a wider range of controllable parameters of the boundary layer.
