Collaborative Research: Experiments and Theory of Nonequilibrium Processes in Turbulent Combustion

Abstract

The proposed work focuses on ignition and other nonlinear events that often occur in underdeveloped turbulent flow environments. Such nonequilibrium events are common to wildfire propagation, weather dynamics, atmospheric boundary layers, chemical reactors, and materials separation processes. Hence, the underlying theory of nonequilibrium has widespread utility in a number of diverse and societally-relevant areas. In addition, the multiscale modeling approach developed here creates a new framework for dealing with nonequilibrium, providing a unique computational tool for handling complex dynamic system.
