The scaling of turbulent premixed flames is typically described by correlations derived for unity-Lewis-number fuels. However, their validity for hydrogen (H$_{2}$) remains uncertain due to the thermodiffusive effects associated with its…
We perform the first detailed three-dimensional simulation of low Mach number convection preceding thermonuclear ignition in a mixed H/He X-ray burst. Our simulations include a moderate-sized, approximate network that captures hydrogen and…
Under rocket-relevant conditions, real-gas effects and thermodynamic non-idealities are prominent features of the flow field. Experimental investigations indicate that phase separation can occur depending on the operating conditions and on…
Diffusive transport of mass occurs at small scales in turbulent premixed flames. As a result, multicomponent mass diffusion, which is often neglected in direct numerical simulations (DNS) of premixed combustion, has the potential to impact…
The molecular structure of neutral n-triacontanol mesophases at the n-hexane - water interface has been studied by diffuse X-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation. According to the experimental data, a transition to the multilayer…
We report consistent ignition of high-pressure (p > 20-30 bar) hydrogen-oxygen mixtures diluted with helium, using an unfocused Nd:YAG laser. This corresponds to laser irradiances several orders of magnitude below the minimum ignition…
Thermodiffusive instabilities can have a leading order effect on flame propagation for lean premixed hydrogen flames. Many simulation studies have been performed to study this effect, but almost exclusively in two-dimensional (2D) or domain…
This fluid dynamics video presents three-dimensional kinetic simulations of the dynamics in suspensions of oxytactic bacteria confined in thin liquid film surrounded by air. At the initial time, the bacterial concentration is uniform and…
The critical dimension necessary for a flame to propagate in suspensions of fuel particles in oxidizer is studied analytically and numerically. Two types of models are considered: First, a continuum model, wherein the individual particulate…
This article presents numerical simulations of an iron dust Bunsen flame. The results are validated against experimental results. The burning velocity is extracted from the 3D simulation results, as in the experiments. The agreement of the…
Evolution of fuel droplet evaporation zone and its interaction with the propagating flame front are studied in this work. A general theory is developed to describe the evolutions of flame propagation speed, flame temperature, droplet…
Flames can be formed by burning methane (CH4). When oxygen is scarce, carbon particles nucleate into solid particles called soot. These particles emit photons, making the flame yellow. Later, methane is pre-mixed with air forming a blue…
The stabilization mechanisms of fully premixed NH3/H2/air flames anchored behind a bluff body are investigated using combined experiments and direct numerical simulations. Particular attention is given to the interplay between preferential…
Autoignition of n-heptane droplet/vapor/air mixtures behind an oblique shock wave are studied, through Eulerian-Lagrangian method and a skeletal chemical mechanism. The effects of gas/liquid equivalence ratio (ER), droplet diameter, flight…
Dynamics of a particle diffusing in a confinement can be seen a sequence of bulk-diffusion-mediated hops on the confinement surface. Here, we investigate the surface hopping propagator that describes the position of the diffusing particle…
We perform the first multidimensional fluid simulations of thermonuclear helium ignition underneath a hydrogen-rich shell. This situation is relevant to Type I X-ray bursts on neutron stars that accrete from a hydrogen-rich companion. Using…
The physicochemical mechanisms underlying the pyrolysis of n-hexane in a high temperature Ar-H2 environment were investigated for plasma pyrolysis process. An optimal chemical kinetics model was developed using the Reaction Mechanism…
We consider a simple model describing premixed combustion in the presence of fluid flow: reaction diffusion equation with passive advection and ignition type nonlinearity. Strong advection can suppress flames - a process we call quenching.…
We present the results of dynamic in-situ 3D X-ray imaging of methane hydrates microstructure during methane hydrate formation and decomposition in sand samples. Short scanning times and high resolution provided by synchrotron X-rays…
We present a novel hybrid incompressible flow/material point method solver for simulating the combustion of flammable solids. Our approach utilizes a sparse grid representation of solid materials in the material point method portion of the…
