Physical features of turbulence and vortex-flame interaction in engines are investigated by performing large eddy simulation and direct numerical simulation of compressible flows. A BI-SCALES (Boundary-Inner Smoothly Coupled, Alternating multi-Level Equations System) is proposed, which is a mathematical formulation of the system of governing equations suitable for computations of compressible flows. A numerical method based on the proposed formulation is developed. Using the method, the transition to turbulence in the compression process and the cyclic variations are examined. Then, the vortex-flame interaction is studied, mainly on the relation between the flame structure and the Kalvoritz-and turbulent Reynolds number effect. Finally, the large wrinkle simulation (LWS) of engine combusting flow is performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
