Hi Kirk,

Without a reason why, I pictured something like this.

Daniel,

Thank you for your response and question.

Currently I am experimenting with various configurations for the bluff body.  A trailing edge is one possibility to try.  The flat top bluff body causes vortexes directly above it.  The vortexes do not seem to help or hurt in the overall performance.  A trailing edge might eliminate most of these, and perhaps could reduce flow resistance.  Using descending tubes from the bluff body (as I described in an earlier contribution) to let air enter the interior of the flame above the bluff body seems to reduce the vortexes and feed air to the interior of the flame as well.  This helps with both high and low power levels.

Attached are photos of some of the bluff body designs I have tried.  They are upside down in the photos.  The ones with "petals" are intended to create rounded lobes of flame, and the partial tubes create a narrow open space between the lobes of flame.  This may (I don't know yet) allow air into the interior without the tubes.  Both tubes and partial tubes seem to perform similarly, and help enable the very high and very low power levels.

Were you thinking of a cone shape for the trailing edge?

I love your work, Kirk!

I quite liked the details I saw in the spec sheet of the three hour TLUD you put out a while back, and am looking forward to putting a few concepts from there into a build, when I can get to finishing it.

Since childhood I have admired the impact a wing shape has on the air around it and been interested in flight, and was intrigued by "the Venturi effect" that you talk about which I had never heard of before reading your work, but it only just struck me today that the two are very connected. Just spitballing as I go, would there be merit to your "bluff body" having a "trailing edge" like a wing does, rather than just a flat top? I have nothing to go on asking this, and no suggestions, just a thought that occurred. I don't know how much harder this would be to make.

Daniel

All,

I have been working on a document on a subject which is quite
fascinating to me.  I thought I would share it with you even though it
is unfinished.  It probably will never be finished as I find that each
idea leads to more ideas.  I might as well share where I am now.  As I
proceed, there will be more drawings and photos of the test stoves and
components.  I hope there will be questions because questions make me
look at things I have not paid attention to before.  Dean Still's
questioning has been very helpful.

I hope you enjoy it,

Kirk H.
