Turbulent Reacting Flows at High Speed

Abstract

The overall goal of the research was to establish a strong foundation for understanding and predicting the interaction of fluid mechanical processes with chemical reactions in high speed flows. To accomplish this goal, expertise in chemical kinetics, experimental fluid mechanics and combustion, and computational fluid mechanics were brought together to make a systematic attack on turbulent reacting flows at high speed. In particular, the following tasks were established Task 1: High Speed Flow Experiments Including Mixing and Heat Release Task 2: Fundamental Combustion Experiments and Modeling Task 3: The Development and Application of Advanced Optical Diagnostics Task 4: Numerical Simulation Of Reacting Flows At High Speed The report summarizes the goals of the research and the progress made in each of these tasks.
