Subject Terms: Fluid Mechanics, Combustion and Ignition, CHEMICAL REACTIONS, COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS, ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS, COMBUSTION, DIFFUSION, EXPERIMENTAL DATA, GRIDS, HIGH RESOLUTION, INTERACTIONS, LAMINAR FLOW, MATHEMATICAL MODELS, NUMERICAL METHODS AND PROCEDURES, SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION, TEMPERATURE, THREE DIMENSIONAL, VELOCITY, DIFFUSION FLAMES, ADAPTIVE GRIDDING, VELOCITY-VORTICITY, COMPACT METHODS
Description: This research looks to enhance the solution of chemically reacting systems through a number of computational methodologies. In particular, we have examined methods for solving problems by constraining the temperature and/or species fields; we have developed three-dimensional local gridding techniques and we have utilized velocity-vorticity methods for fluid dynamic modeling of combustion problems. Finally, we have combined high order, high resolution spatial discretization schemes with a robust implicit solution strategy. A central premise of the research discussed in this proposal is that the advancement of computational algorithms and the interaction between computation and experiments can play a role of equal or even greater importance, compared to computational architecture development, in the solution of these critical problems. All the topics were designed to provide a more effective computational/experimental strategy for the solution of problems of interest to the Air Force. ; The original document contains color images.
