本文是利用實驗的方法對噴流火焰進行一系列有關火焰不穩定、吹熄極限，與吹熄過程之現象與行為特性之定性與定量觀察量測之研究。經由對暫態紊流噴流火焰吹熄過程之定性觀察與現象析論，本文提出一個有關其吹熄過程特性之延伸機制，並且配合相關雷射實驗量測所得之定量化數據，以檢查驗證所提出之延伸機制。

在本文中使用實驗法擴大範圍研究並建立惰性氣體稀釋之甲烷，丙烷，與氫氣的吹熄極限速度之數據資料庫，其中氦氣，氬氣，氮氣，與二氧化碳等氣體用以當作惰性物質來調整不同的燃料初始條件，並且用以驗證Kalghatgi奠基於預混模型的吹熄速度預測與Broadwell的大尺度渦流吹熄模型。結果顯示預混模型所推測之火焰速度結果較值得信賴，另外一方面來說，大尺度Broadwell模型經過適當的出口雷諾數的修正後亦可達到準確的結果。透過實驗的結果，以及結合以往稀釋燃料吹熄速度的偏差，本文進而提出了預測火焰吹熄速度的修正模型。

在火焰的吹熄過程中，使用數位影像處理來描繪火焰底端的軌跡，配合統計的過程將火焰吹熄的步驟加以分類。除此之外，火焰底端上游中燃料與周圍空氣的混合狀態以及流場特徵均利用以非介入式之雷射量測技術加以觀察。對於本研究中所使用之非介入式之雷射量測技術包括粒子影像測速、瑞利散射、與氫氧離子雷射誘導螢光均經過仔細校驗以確保實驗數據之品質。配合各項實驗數據與結果，進而提出了一個火焰吹熄過程的機制，此吹熄過程充分說明了火焰吹熄過程的演進以及其相關的不穩定現象。

準確的噴流火焰吹熄極限特性量測以及對吹熄過程中火焰不穩定行為的了解，對於將來噴流火焰的實際應用以及燃燒器的設計將有莫大的幫助。

Characteristics of the blowout limits, instability phenomenon, and transient blowout process of jet flames were investigated experimentally. Based upon qualitative observations and phenomenological arguments, an extended model of the transient turbulent blowout process of jet flames was proposed to explain the characteristic behavior of the blowout phenomenon. Quantitative experimental data were used to further examine and verify the proposed model of the transient blowout process of jet flames.

In this work, an extended database of the global blowout limits, blowout velocities of various inert-diluted methane, propane, and hydrogen jet flames were constructed and studied experimentally. Helium, argon, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide were used as the diluents to generate different initial properties. Extension of the widely-applied premixed and large-scale blowout models by Kalghatgi and Broadwell, respectively, was carefully examined using inert-diluted methane, propane, and hydrogen jet flames. Results showed that among the models the obtained blowout-velocity estimation based on the premixed model of Kalghatgi is more reliable in the extended dilution region, while that based on the large-scale model of Broadwell needs to take Reynolds number effect into account so that a better prediction of blowout velocity can be made.

The trajectory of the flame base propagation in the transient blowout process was evaluated using digital image processing and the specific blowout behaviors was also categorized and analyzed statistically. In addition, the fuel/air mixing and flow characteristics in the upstream region of the flame base during the blowout process were also explored using Rayleigh Scattering and LIPF-OH imaging techniques. In addition, PIV was used to obtain velocity distributions near the lifted flame base. A mechanism related to blowout process model was constructed and proposed to explain the instability behavior and evolution of different stages of the transient blowout process.

The accurate blowout-limit estimation and comprehension of the instability behavior of the jet flames are of significant importance to practical combustion applications and advanced combustor design.
