In the current study computational and experimental investigations of a turbulent asymmetric vortex flame is presented. The three dimensional flow fields have been described using a computational methodology that impalements the kε turbulence model. The computational model is validated for isothermal flow. Moreover, the visible flame structure was captured by direct photography at a wide range of equivalence ratios in order to emphasize the exceptional stability of such flame. The mechanism of flame stability and interaction with the forced vortex field is preliminarily discussed. Finally, the basic characteristics of the asymmetric vortex flames are concluded.

The asymmetric vortex flows about slender bodies at high angle of attack are investigated numerically. 3D O-O type multi-block structured grids are adopted for the computation, and a series of small spatial disturbances are imposed on the leeward body surface near the tip to trigger the asymmetry. The unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a dual-time method based on the cell-centered finite-volume scheme. Comparisons between numerical results and experimental data demonstrate that the asymmetric vortex pattern observed in the experiment is successfully simulated. In a certain small perturbation level, the magnitude of the side-force is independent of the size of the spatial perturbation, but its direction is dependent on the direction of the spatial perturbation, i.e. a counterclockwise or clockwise circumferential angle from the leeward meridian. When perturbation is removed, the flow field returns to its original asymmetric shape after a period of oscillation.
