An
implicit method [1, 2], TARDIS (Transient Advection Reaction
Diffusion Implicit Simulations), has been developed that successfully
couples the compressible flow to the comprehensive chemistry and
multi-component transport properties. TARDIS has been demonstrated in
application to two fundamental combustion problems of great interest.
First,
TARDIS was used to investigate stretched laminar flame velocities in
eight flame configurations: outwardly and inwardly propagating
H2/air and CH4/air in cylindrical and spherical geometries.
Fractional power laws are observed between the velocity deficit and
the flame curvature Second,
the response of transient outwardly propagating premixed H2/air and
CH4/air flames subjected to joint pressure and equivalence ratio
oscillations were investigated. A fuller version of the abstract can be obtained from http://www.math.gatech.edu/~rll6/malik_abstract-Apr-2012.docx
