Project Description

This project considers high-fidelity numerical simulations of turbulent reacting flow. The main research interest is hydrogen combustion as a carbon-free fuel, with a particular focus on thermodiffusive instabilities in lean premixed flames.


Software or Compute Methods

We use code developed at the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The code is a C++/fortran hybrid, massively parallelised reacting Navier-Stokes solver. See https://amrex-combustion.github.io/PeleLMeX/ for more details.
