Vortex methods and turbulent combustion

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7100802
We describe a series of numerical experiments using random vortex element techniques coupled to a flame propagation algorithm based on Huyghens principle to model turbulent combustion. We solve the equations of zero Mach number combustion for the problem of a flame propagating in a swirling flow inside a closed vessel. We analyze the competing effects of viscosity, exothermicity, boundary conditions and pressure on the rate of combustion in the vessel.
