| Summary: | The effects of the initial preheating perturbation on the dynamical behaviors of FGC wave propagation instability for low-velocity FGC in packed bed are studied numerically. The behaviors of the flame front inclination, break, and shrinking instabilities are always observed in experiments. Based on the experimental phenomena, an initial thermal perturbation model is numerically proposed as to predict the deformation behaviors of the flame front instabilities. The typical flame shapes are obtained depending on filtration velocity, equivalence ratio, and initial preheating temperature difference. It is demonstrated that the development of flame front inclination instability is proportional to the magnitude of initial preheating perturbation. At a lower equivalence ratio, the initial thermal perturbation of 300 K leads to the evolution of flame front break. Increasing filtration velocity leads to the appearance of flame front break, due to the intensification of the hydrodynamic instability. In addition, a perculiar instability of flame front shifting is also confirmed with the initial thermal perturbation of 400 K, which results in a fuel leakage of incomplete combustion.
