- Classic combustion theory neglects compressibility effects. This paper investigates the influence of compressibility in premixed combustion, laying a basis to understand these phenomena by introducing a new approach to “burning velocity”. It provided the launchpad for a PhD study of premixed combustion at UCLan , funded by the Petroleum Technology Development Fund of Nigeria (Contract PTDF/ED/PhD/JOA//955/16) and facilitated involvement with the UK Consortium on Turbulent Reacting Flows (funded by EPSRC EP/K036890/1). This follow-on study uses direct numerical simulation to investigate the detailed kinetics and concentration effects on slow flames, fast flames and deflagration to detonation transition, suggesting the mechanisms involved.
