FLIC (FLame with Implicit Convection) - A Detailed, Two-Dimensional Flame Model

Abstract

This report describes the new computer code FLame with Implicit Convection (FLIC), a two-dimensional time-dependent program developed specifically to compute and study the behavior of flames and other subsonic chemically reactive flows. In order to describe a flame in enough detail to simulate its initiation, propagation, and extinction, FLIC combines algorithms for subsonic convective transport with buoyancy, detailed chemical reaction processes, and diffusive transport processes such as molecular diffusion, thermal conduction, and viscosity. Several new numerical techniques had to be developed specifically for multi-dimensional flame modelling, and these are highlighted in this report. The numerical implementation of the flame model is described here, and a typical application is provided for illustration. FLIC is currently the state-of-the-art in detailed two-dimensional, time dependent flame models. Keywords: Computer programs; FLAME computer program; Gases; Fuels; Reaction; Kinetics; Thermochemistry.
