A high-order low-Mach number AMR construction for chemically reacting flows

A high-order projection scheme was developed for the study of chemically reacting flows in the lowMach number limit. The numerical approach for the momentum transport uses a combination of cell-centered/cell-averaged discretizations to achieve a fourth-order formulation for the pressure projection algorithm. This scheme is coupled with a second-order in time operator-split stiff approach for the species and energy equations. The code employs a fourth-order, block-structured, adaptive mesh refinement approach to address the challenges posed by the large spectrum of spatial scales encountered in reacting flow computations. Results for advection-diffusion-reaction configurations are used to illustrate the performance of the numerical construction.
