We investigate the interaction of thermonuclear flames in Type Ia supernova explosions with vortical flows by means of numerical simulations. In our study, we focus on small scales, where the flame propagation is no longer dominated by the turbulent cascade originating from large-scale effects. Here, the flame propagation proceeds in the cellular burning regime, resulting from a balance between...

This review paper focuses to ascertain a new approach in turbulence generation on the structure of premixed flames and external combustion using a fractal grid pattern. This review paper discusses the relationship between fractal pattern and turbulence flow. Many researchers have explored the fractal pattern as a new concept of turbulence generators, but researchers rarely study fractal turbule...

The commercial code FLUENT is used for modeling and simulation of threeand twodimensional non-reacting and reacting flows past regular and open-slit V-gutters. Incompressible Large-Eddy Simulations with Dynamic Subgrid Kinetic Energy Model, C-progress variable equation and Zimont turbulent flame speed closure are used. C3H8 is used as the fuel. The measured and predicted time-averaged streamwis...

Optical-flow (OF) velocimetry is based on extracting velocity information from two-dimensional scalar images and represents an unseeded alternative to particle-image velocimetry in turbulent flows. The performance of the technique is examined by direct comparison with simultaneous particle-image velocimetry in both an isothermal turbulent flow and a turbulent flame by use of acetone-OH laser-in...

Two combustion models for turbulent premixed combustion in the flamelet regime are developed for unsteady simulations. The first model is a convensional G equation flamelet model and the main issues discussed are the subgrid closure. The second model is based on the Linear-Eddy Model. Both models are used in simulation of turbulent stagnation point flames. The heat release and turbulence intens...

This paper describes the simultaneous application of time-sequenced laser-induced fluorescence imaging of OH radicals and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry for measurements of the flame front dynamics in lean and premixed LP turbulent flames. The studied flames could be acoustically driven, to simulate phenomena important in LP combustion technologies. In combination with novel image post...

The paper investigates the impact of heat release and pilot jet location on the swirling flow structures in a coannular swirl burner without confinement. Two iso-thermal turbulent swirling flow cases and three turbulent premixed swirling flames are studied with the aid of large-eddy simulation. Two geometries are considered, one featuring a pilot lance flush with the outlet and one with retract...

We examine the effects of turbulent intermittency on the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) in Type Ia supernovae. The Zel’dovich mechanism for DDT requires the formation of a nearly isothermal region of mixed ash and fuel that is larger than a critical size. We primarily consider the hypothesis by Khokhlov et al. and Niemeyer and Woosley that the nearly isothermal, mixed region is pro...
