The fundamentals of stabilized flame dynamics and flashback events in a premixed low swirl burner (LSB) configuration are visualized experimentally using nanosecond (ns)-based high-speed hydroxyl radical planar laser-induced fluorescence (OH-PLIF). Swirlers with two different turning angles, 〖26〗^o and 〖33〗^o and three different center-body hole diameters, 1.08, 1.12 and 1.16 mm with measured swirl numbers varying from 0.43 to 0.49 are tested in this study at atmospheric temperature and pressure inlet conditions. An increase in flashback propensity is observed with increasing ϕ, X_(H_2 ) and decreasing V via detailed investigation of flame lift-off length (L) above the burner rim. Flashback ϕ (ϕ_FB) investigations show an expected linearly increasing trend with decreasing X_(H_2 ) and increasing V for each swirler studied and the results agree well with detailed L investigations in a stable flame configuration. ϕ_FB studies for different swirlers show an increase in flashback resistance with the increase in center-body hole diameter and swirl angle. Spatiotemporally resolved kHz-rate OH-PLIF is a promising technique to observe rapidly occurring flashback events and it can be applied for turbulence-chemistry interaction model validation.
