Effects of Lewis number on the statistics of the invariants of the velocity gradient tensor and local flow topologies in turbulent premixed flames [PDF]
The behaviours of the three invariants of the velocity gradient tensor and the resultant local flow topologies in turbulent premixed flames have been analysed using three-dimensional direct numerical simulation data for different values of the ...

Lewis number effects in distributed flames [PDF]
Abstract Recent computational studies have simulated a mode of distributed premixed combustion where turbulent mixing plays a significant role in the transport of mass and heat near the reaction zone. Under these conditions, molecular transport processes play a correspondingly smaller role.

Characterization of low Lewis number flames [PDF]
Abstract A recent numerical study of turbulence–flame interactions in lean premixed hydrogen, where the Lewis number was approximately 0.36, observed that flames at different equivalence ratios presented significantly different behavior despite having the same Karlovitz and Damkohler numbers.

Strained Premixed Laminar Flames with Nonunity Lewis Numbers [PDF]
The method of activation energy asymptotics is used to study the effects of Lewis numbers different from unity on nonadiabatic flamelets in counterflowing streams of reactants and products. A sequence of analyses parallels those reported earlier for such flamelets having Lewis number unity.

Lewis Number Effects on Flame Speed Statistics in Spherical Turbulent Premixed Flames
The influences of characteristic Lewis number $$ \hbox{Le} $$ Le on the statistics of density-weighted displacement speed and consumption speed in spherically expanding turbulent premixed flames have been analysed using three-dimensional direct numerical

Experimental Study on Local Flame Properties of Hydrogen Added Hydrocarbon Premixed Turbulent Flames
This experimental study is performed to investigate directly the local flame properties of turbulent propagating flames at the same weak turbulence condition (u'/SL0=1.4), in order to clarify basically the influence of the addition of hydrogen to ...
