Effect of flame anchoring

June 20, 2014

The hydrodynamics modelling model is capable of capturing the same oscillatory phenomenon as shown in Assier 2013. In addition to that, decreasing the laminar burning velocity leads to anchoring of the flame and reduction in growth rate and limit cycle amplitude.

Full restructuring of the hydrodynamics code

December 2, 2013

The code currently under development for the modelling of hydrodynamic effects is being rewritten. It has suffered from the results of concurrent coding and development, and therefore needs a bit of restructuring before producing results for publication.

Modelling non periodic functions with Fourier Series

November 7, 2013

Part of my work on the modelling of hydrodynamic effects in anchored flame combustion instabilities requires the treatment of non periodic signals with Fourier series. This is successfully performed by extending the signal over a virtual domain, and ensuring that it remains periodic within this extended domain. This is a common method for steady problems. […]
