Characteristics of methanol diffusion flames burning under three different configurations with respect to the directions of forced and natural convective flow fields are presented for zero and normal gravity conditions. Combustion of a spherical methanol particle and of a methanol film within a mixed convective environment, have been numerically simulated. The effects of gravity on aiding, opposing and perpendicular flow are presented. The gravitational field considerably changes the flow field, flame shapes and fuel burning rates, especially for the opposing flow case.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of axial forcing on the flow structures near the nozzle exit in coaxial isothermal jets and jet diffusion flames. The jet was excited by adding a periodic velocity fluctuation ranging from 0 to 400% of the mean jet velocity at the tube r
