contents Fuel-lean hydrogen combustion systems hold significant potential for low pollutant emissions, but are also susceptible to intrinsic combustion instabilities. While most research on these instabilities has focused on flames without wall confinement, practical combustors are typically enclosed by walls that strongly influence the combustion dynamics. In part I of this work, the flame-wall interaction of intrinsically unstable hydrogen/air flames has been studied for a single operating condition through detailed numerical simulations in a two-dimensional head-on quenching configuration. This study extends the previous investigation to a wide range of gas turbine and engine-relevant operating conditions, including variations in equivalence ratio (0.4 - 1.0), unburnt gas temperature (298 K - 700 K), and pressure (1.01325 bar - 20 bar). These parametric variations allow for a detailed analysis and establish a baseline for modeling the effects of varying instability intensities on the quenching process, as the relative influence of thermodiffusive and hydrodynamic instabilities depends on the operating conditions. While the quenching characteristics remain largely unaffected by hydrodynamic instabilities, the presence of thermodiffusive instabilities significantly increases the mean wall-heat flux and reduces the mean quenching distance. Furthermore, the impact of thermodiffusive instabilities on the quenching process intensifies as their intensity increases, driven by an increase in pressures and a decrease in equivalence ratio and unburnt gas temperature.
