Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
Ensuring fire safety in polymeric materials, which are inherently flammable but widely used in various industries, is of significant societal and economic importance. This study is part of a broader effort to understand polymer combustion and flame retardant effectiveness at a fundamental level. A major focus is the behavior of polymers burning along a vertical wall, a configuration chosen to study the release of flammable gases during pyrolysis, which contributes to the self-sustaining combustion reaction of a fire. This process occurs predominantly near the polymer surface within the boundary layer, requiring detailed analysis to evaluate flame retardant effectiveness. Our experimental setup replicates polymer pyrolysis using a flame-wall interaction burner with a vertical jet and a small inlet to mimic the release of flammable gases. The primary challenge in this setup is the introduction of seeding particles for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements at low volume flow rates, which is complicated by reflections from the wall and the small flow scale relative to the main flow. To address this problem, we have developed a novel piezo-based ultrasonic seeder capable of controlled seeding at extremely low flow rates, thereby improving the accuracy of PIV measurements in non-reactive configurations. This seeder uses a piezo ring to excite a perforated metal membrane, forming uniform aerosol droplets. The design ensures a steady supply of particles, which is critical for evaluating boundary layer conditions. Our results demonstrate the seeder’s ability to maintain sufficient seeding density in the low volume flow region, facilitating detailed velocimetry analysis. The innovative seeder design proves effective in overcoming the limitations of conventional methods and provides new insights into polymer combustion processes and the role of flame retardants.
