Turbulent Premixed Flame Kernel Growth During The Early Stages Using Direct Numerical Simulation

In this thesis Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is used to investigate the development of turbulent premixed flame kernels during the early stages of growth typical of the period following spark ignition. Two distinct aspects of this phase are considered: the interaction of the expanding kernel wit...
