Turbulent flame speed based on the mass flow rate: theory and DNS

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

Starting with an integral formulation of mass flow rate through an ensemble of isotherms constituting a statistically planar, turbulent premixed flame, a scaling for the corresponding turbulent flame speed is derived without invoking Damk{ö}hler's hypotheses. Major approximations and interim results are validated using a large Karlovitz number, unity Lewis number, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) dataset of n-heptane/air mixture, computed with reduced chemistry. A new length scale quantifying the fluctuation distance of the isotherms within the premixed flame structure is introduced.
