Simulation of chemical reaction in a turbulent flow
Abstract
The mass conservation equations for chemical species undergoing convection, diffusion, and irreversible chemical reaction were numerically integrated over time using a numerical simulation of two-dimensional, homogeneous, turbulent velocity fields with assignable statistical properties. Statistical independence hypotheses, proposed by O'Brien for single-species reactions and by Toor for two-species reactions, were tested by comparing exact statistical quantities during evolution of the concentration fields.
