Abstract: MILD combustion in the second stage of JHC experiment was simulated by using two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical simulation method. The influence of hydrogen content of CH4-H2 mixture on the turbulent diffusion flame was studied under the condition of constant volume flux of fuel mixture. The results show that the mixing between fuel and oxidant augments, the velocity magnitude and its radial component falls down with the increase of hydrogen content of fuel mixture. In addition, as the hydrogen content of fuel mixture goes up, the flame front gradually leans to the oxidant side and the max mass fraction of OH free radical goes up firstly and then goes down. As for the combustion temperature, although the combustion temperature in the main exothermic reaction zone increases with increasing the hydrogen content of fuel mixture, the influence of hydrogen content on the temperature is very small when it is over 20%.

Key words: MILD combustion, hydrogen content of fuel mixture, velocity distribution, temperature distribution, distribution of OH free radical
