Numerical Study on Thermodiffusive Instabilities in Laminar and Turbulent Hydrogen Flames

The book explores the challenges and opportunities of using hydrogen for decarbonizing energy conversion processes, focusing on the impact of thermodiffusive instabilities in hydrogen/air flames. Through direct numerical simulations, the research reveals that these instabilities significantly influence flame propagation speeds and the formation of flame front corrugations. It also examines how these instabilities interact with turbulence, enhancing turbulent flame speeds and local reaction rates, thereby demonstrating their critical role in both laminar and turbulent flame dynamics.
