Abstract
A numerical model for supersonic turbulent nonpremixed hydrogen-air jet flames is developed for exploring the interaction between chemical reaction and turbulence. The numerical code employs an implicit finite-volume, lower-upper successive overrelaxation (LU-SSOR) scheme for solving density-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with chemical reactions in axisymmetric flows. The effects of turbulence on chemical reaction are included by approximations appropriate in the limit of weak turbulence. Comparison of numerical results with and without the influence of turbulence on the chemical kinetics reveals that even under the condition of weak turbulence, the effect of turbulence on chemistry can be significant.
