Numerical investigation of complex, transitional, and chemically reacting flows

Abstract

This document is divided into two parts. Part A, on turbulent transport of chemical species in compressible reacting flows, includes the following topics: mixing of chemical species in reacting flows; chemically reacting turbulent flows; turbulent mixing of chemical species in reacting flows, which includes large eddy mixing, turbulent mixing, and molecular mixing; multiple time scale turbulence equations; species conservation equations for reacting flows; and a finite volume numerical method. Part B, on unsteady transitional flows over forced oscillatory surfaces, discusses unsteady transitional flow equations with moving boundaries and the application of the finite volume numerical solution method.
