Abstract
As part of the EU/SME project SafeFlame
(www.safeflameproject.eu ) the heating of a Cu pipe by a
H2/O2 flame has been modeled and the results are compared
to experiments. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
modeling has been utilized to study the flow and
combustion in the flame and the heat transfer from the
flame to the pipe. The simulation results are compared
with the measured temperature history of the pipe at
different locations and with the visual flame. The
influence of distance between the burner and the pipe and
of using two opposite H2/O2 flames on the heating rate of
the pipe has been investigated. Reasonable agreement
between modeling and experiments has been obtained. The
reasons for differences between modeling and experimental
results are discussed
