Simulation of Flame Propagation Using a Sharp Interface Method

In this research, a numerical method is employed to simulate the incompressible two-phase flow with phase change. Euler equations are solved using an explicit projection method coupled with the level set technique for interface capturing. The ghost fluid method is used to impose appropriate jump conditions at the interface. Therefore, all discontinuous variables across the interface are modeled in a sharp manner. Results are presented for simulation of flame propagation and are compared with available numerical solutions. Numerical examples show that the method is accurate, robust and able to capture physical effects.
