This is the second of a two-part paper on heat transfer from an impinging flame jet reporting time-resolved results. Axial and radial profiles of time-resolved local heat fluxes of methane-air jet flames impinging normal to a cooled plate are reported, including the root mean square (RMS), probability distribution function (PDF), and the power spectral density (PSD) of the heat flux fluctuations as a function of equivalence ratio, Reynolds number, and nozzle-plate spacing. The RMS, PDF, and PSD of the heat flux signal from the stagnation point and along the plate revealed correlation of the local heat flux to the flame structure. Impingement heat flux from premixed nozzle-stabilized flames was characterized by small RMS fluctuations and frequency behavior indicating the formation of weak, buoyancy-driven vortex structures at the shear layer between the hot gases surrounding the flame and the ambient air. Conversely, diffusion flames were characterized by much larger RMS fluctuations and PSD's indicating the development of much larger vortex structures. Time-resolved heat flux for lifted flames varied according to flame structure and combustion intensity. PSD magnitudes were related to the range of temperatures in the flow; greater temperature ranges produced larger heat flux variations. The contributing frequencies were related to the duration of the heat flux fluctuation; more rapid changes in heat flux produced higher frequency content. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
