Abstract

Two-dimensional turbulent combustion with rapid temperature and pressure growth in the ignition process of a homogeneous n-heptane/air mixture is studied by high-resolution direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of the flow field of the mixture with up to 20482 grid points. The DNSs show that the turbulent flow mixes the temperature field so that it affects on the ignition delay. The DNSs show also that the rapid temperature and pressure growth due to the heat release at ignition makes drastic changes in the turbulent velocity field, especially in its compressible component, and causes pressure oscillations in some cases.
