Abstract

The premixed turbulent V-flame is numerically simulated in this paper. The technique used in Chan et al. [Effect of intense turbulence on turbulent premixed V-flame, Int. J. Eng. Sci. 41 (2003), pp. 903–916; Simulation of a premixed turbulent flame with the discrete vortex method, Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng. 48 (2000), pp. 613–627] was based on the random vortex method and the conventional level set method. However, this paper is an improvement of the previous technique by using a conservative level set method. The new algorithm uses a bi-cubic interpolation process together with Newton's method to reconstruct the velocity field to improve the conservation of the level set method. The numerical example in this paper indicates the efficiency of the new method in solving the problem of turbulent premixed V-flame by comparing the results with available data.
