3D simulations of spinlike flames in Co/Al multilayers with enhanced conduction losses
Abstract
Reactive Co/Al multilayers are uniformly structured materials that may be ignited to produce rapid and localized heating. Prior studies varying the bilayer thickness (i.e., sum of two individual layers of Co and Al) have revealed different types of flame morphologies, including: (a) steady/planar, (b) wavy/periodic, and (c) transverse bands, originating in the flame front. These instabilities resemble the “spin waves” first observed in the early studies of solid combustion (i.e., Ti cylinder in a N2 atmosphere), and are likewise thought to be due to the balance of heat released by reaction and heat conduction forward into the unreacted multilayer. However, the multilayer geometry and three-dimensional (3D) edge effects are relatively unexplored. In this work, a new diffusion-limited reaction model for Co/Al multilayers was implemented in large, novel 3D finite element analysis (FEA) simulations, in order to study the origins of these spinlike flames. This reaction model builds upon previous work by introducing three new phase-dependent property models for: (1) the diffusion coefficient, (2) anisotropic thermal conductivity tensor, and (3) bulk heat capacity, as well as one additional model for the bilayer-dependent heat of reaction. These novel 3D simulations are the first to predict both steady and unsteady flames in Co/Almore »

These novel 3D simulations are the first to predict both steady and unsteady flames in Co/Al multilayers. Moreover, two unsteady modes of flame propagation are identified, which depend on the enhanced conduction losses with slower flames, as well as flame propagation around notched edges. Finally, future work will consider the generality of the current modeling approach and also seek to define a more generalized set of stability criteria for additional multilayer systems.},
