THE FIRST TURBULENT COMBUSTION

Pages 1049-1071 | Received 31 Jan 2004, Accepted 18 May 2004, Published online: 30 Aug 2006
 

ABSTRACT

The first turbulent combustion arises in a hot-big-bang cosmological model (Gibson, Citation2004) where nonlinear exothermic turbulence permitted by quantum mechanics, general relativity, multidimensional superstring theory, and fluid mechanics cascades from Planck to strong-force freeze-out scales with gravity balancing turbulent inertial-vortex forces. Interactions between Planck scale spinning and non-spinning black holes produce high Reynolds number turbulence and temperature mixing with huge Reynolds stresses driving the rapid inflation of space. Kolmogorovian turbulent temperature patterns are fossilized as strong-force exponential inflation stretches them beyond the scale of causal connection ct where c is light speed and t is time. Fossil temperature turbulence patterns seed nucleosynthesis, and then hydro-gravitational structure formation in the plasma epoch, (Gibson, Citation1996, Citation2000). Evidence about formation mechanisms is preserved by cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies. CMB spectra indicate hydro-gravitational fragmentation at supercluster to galaxy masses in the primordial plasma with space stretched by ∼ 1050. Bershadskii and Sreenivasan (Citation2002, Citation2003) CMB multi-scaling coefficients support a strong turbulence origin for the anisotropies prior to the plasma epoch.
