NOxformation in premixed, highly-strained, pure hydrogen-air flamelets is investigated at lean conditions. Detailed-chemistry, one-dimensional and two-dimensional simulations are performed on a reactants-to-products configuration with varying applied strain rate. The results highlight for the first time for lean pure-hydrogen flamelets that NOxemissions are suppressed as strain rate is increased. The most substantial decrease is observed across the thermal NOxformation pathway. Here the suppression of NOxis triggered by a redistribution across the flamelet of the radicals involved in the pathway reactions. A comparison with methane flamelets is further performed to understand to what extent the observed trends with strain can be specifically linked to hydrogen burning features. Similar NOxsuppression trends with strain are also observed for increased pressure and different equivalence ratios, although with different rates of decrease. A correlation is proposed based on the observed results and further theoretical considerations, to predict NOxemissions according to applied strain rate and equivalence ratio.
