This paper presents a particle method for free turbulent reacting flows. The vorticity and concentration fields are discretized into the vortex and concentration elements, respectively, and the behavior of the elements is calculated with the Lagrangian method. The chemical reaction is estimated through the Lagrangian calculation for the strength of concentration element. The particle method is applied to simulate a plane mixing layer with a single-step and irreversible chemical reaction of non-premixed reactants so as to discuss the applicability.
The influence of velocity ratio on the evolution of streamwise vortices in the simulated plane mixing layer
