Effect of chemical reactions on the decay of isotropic homogeneous turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct numerical simulations, (DNS), are used to simulate the decay of an isotopic, turbulent, chemically-reacting flow at high temperatures. The independent parameters that govern the physical process are introduced. The different effects from each of the parameters in the flow are explained by using the results from the DNS. It is found that there is a feedback mechanism between the chemical reactions and the turbulent motion. This feedback is positive for exothermic reactions and negative for endothermic reactions.

Simulation of Low Reynolds Number Isotropic Turbulence Including the Passive Scalar
Full simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence containing a homogeneous passive scalar were made at low Reynolds numbers and various Prandtl numbers. The results show that the spectral behavior of the two fields are quite similar; both fields decay as power-law functions of time. However. the decay exponent is quite dependent on both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The decay exponent of...

Energy development of decaying isotropic turbulence in a 3-D periodic cube with non-rotating or rotating frames of reference is studied through direct numerical simulation using GPU accelerated lattice Boltzmann method. The initial turbulence is isotropic, generated in spectral space with prescribed energy spectrum E(κ)~κm in a range between κmin and ...
متن کاملEffect of chemical reactions on decaying isotropic turbulence
There have been many studies of turbulent combustion flows, however the interaction between turbulent motion and the chemical reactions that occur in hypersonic flows has not been studied. In these flows, the rate of product formation depends almost exclusively on the temperature, and small temperature fluctuations may produce large changes in the rate of product formation. To study this proces...
متن کاملStreamlines in stationary homogeneous isotropic turbulence and fractal-generated turbulence
We compare streamline statistics in stationary homogeneous isotropic turbulence and in turbulence generated by a fractal square grid. We examine streamline segments characterised by the velocity difference u D and the distance l between extremum points. We find close agreement between the stationary homogeneous isotropic turbulence and the decay region of the fractal-generated turbulence as wel...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann simulations of decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence.
Decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence in inertial and rotating reference frames is investigated to evaluate the capability of the lattice Boltzmann method in turbulence. In the inertial frame case, the decay exponents of kinetic energy and dissipation and the low wave-number scaling of the spectrum are studied. The results are in agreement with classical ones. In the frame-rotation case, si...
