| Description | Established stability guidelines for the numerical methods used in high fidelity computational combustion. Provided best practice guidelines for the accurate simulation of premixed flame structures Developed a line of premixed turbulent combustion models based on higher moment quantities - particularly using the so-called flame turbulence interaction term. Introduced denoising algorithms from mesoscale methods to provide smooth estimates for (difficult to obtain) high order turbulent transport moments. |
| Exploitation Route | The consortium aims to provide fundamental understanding and computation of reacting flows. The turbulence models will be of direct relevence to industrial end users; the DNS will be interest to physicists, engineers, fluid dynamicists and chemists. |
