The present study has numerically simulated the oxy-fuel combustion of a methane (CH4) jet in hot coflow (JHC). The main objective is to investigate the influences of the oxygen (O2) molar fraction (XO2*), temperature (Tcof*) and velocity (vcof*) of the O2/CO2 coflow on dimensions of the JHC reaction zone or flame. The simulations use the model of eddy dissipation concept (EDC) with the detailed chemical mechanism described by GRI-Mech 3.0. To validate the modeling, several air-fuel JHC flames are predicted under the same conditions of the work of Dally et al. [Proc. Combust. Inst.2002, 29, 1147–1154]; the predictions match well with the measurements. Results suggest that, as either XO2* or vcof* decrease or Tcof* increases, the volume of the JHC reaction zone increases and hence the overall oxidation rate of CH4 decreases. In particular, raising the coflow speed vcof* causes the flame to be significantly thinner but only slightly longer. It is also demonstrated that the oxy-fuel reaction zone is larger, ...
