Recent developments in numerical schemes, turbulent combustion models and the regular
increase of computing power allow Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to be applied to real …

Numerical simulation of flames is a growing field bringing important improvements to our
understanding of combustion. The main issues and related closures of turbulent combustion …

The initiation of turbulent non-premixed combustion of gaseous fuels through autoignition
and through spark ignition is reviewed, motivated by the increasing relevance of these …

This review discusses recent progress in understanding turbulent, lifted hydrocarbon jet
flames and the conditions under which they stabilize. The viewpoint is from that of the …

▪ Abstract Non-premixed turbulent combustion processes control most practical applications
of combustion. Studying these mechanisms has been the objective of numerous theoretical …

In the past 25 years there has been a considerable amount of progress in studying flamelets,
their structures and their responses to various perturbations. The term “flamelet” as used …

The simulation of turbulent flames fully resolving the smallest flow scales and the thinnest
reaction zones goes along with specific requirements, which are discussed from …

Compressible reacting flows may display sharp spatial variation related to shocks, contact
discontinuities or reactive zones embedded within relatively smooth regions. The presence …

This paper presents results from one and two-dimensional direct numerical simulations
under Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) conditions of a primary reference …

With the goal of providing a more detailed fundamental understanding of ignition processes
in diesel engines, this study reports analysis of a direct numerical simulation (DNS) …
