1. Evaluation of a Two-Dimensional Simulation of Low Strain Rate Nonpremixed Counterflow Flames
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 6839
Published: 1/5/2011
Authors: W Park, Anthony P Hamins, Kevin B McGrattan
Abstract: A mixture fraction formulation is used to numerically simulate the two-dimensional structure of diluted axisymmetric methane-air nonpremixed counterflow flames. The size of the computational domain and the grid spacing are selected based on negligibl ...
