Effects of Lewis Number on the Evolution of Curvature in Spherically Expanding Turbulent Premixed Flames

The effects of Lewis number on the physical mechanisms pertinent to the curvature evolution have been investigated using three-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of spherically expanding turbulent premixed flames with characteristic Lewis number of L e = 0.8 , 1.0 and 1.2. It has b...
