Abstract

The numerical and physical issues of simulations on compressible turbulence are reviewed in the present paper. An outline of the global spectral methods and the progress of recent local spectral methods are illustrated. Several typical subjects in this field are studied, including homogeneous isotropic turbulence, autoignition in premixed turbulence, interaction between flames and turbulence, and shock wave in turbulence. The results of the numerical simulations are discussed, enabling us to discover and to understand the physical phenomena which have not been solved by experiments.
