Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Combustion Using Vortex Methods

Abstract

During the course of this work, we have developed a new numerical method for the integration of the unaveraged, time-dependent, high-Reynolds number Navier-Stokes equations governing a reacting flow. This method, which we called the transport element, is a grid free Langrangian field method which has been developed for the simulation of reacting flow, and to describe mechanisms of shear flow-combustion interaction which have been revealed using these methods.
