Abstract: This work extends the front propagation formulation (FPF) combustion model to large eddy simulation (LES) of swirl-stabilized turbulent premixed flames and investigates the effects of resolved flame thickness on the predicted flame dynamics. The FPF method is designed to mitigate the spurious propagation of under-resolved flames while preserving the reaction characteristics of filtered flame fronts. In this study, the model is extended to account for non-adiabatic effects and is coupled with an improved sub-filter flame speed estimation that resolves the inconsistency arising from heat-release effects on local sub-filter turbulence. The performance of the extended FPF method is validated by LES of the TECFLAM swirl-stabilized burner, where the results agree well with experimental measurements. The simulations reveal that the stretching of vortical structures in the outer shear layer leads to the formation of trapped flame pockets, which are identified as the physical mechanism responsible for the secondary temperature peaks observed in the experiment. The prediction of this phenomenon is shown to be strongly dependent on the resolved flame thickness, when the filter size is used for modeling sub-filter flame wrinklings. Without proper modeling of the chemical steepening effects, the thickness of the resolved flame brush is over-predicted, causing the flame consumption rate to be under-estimated. Consequently, the flame brush detaches from the outer shear layer, resulting in a failure to capture the flame pockets and the associated secondary temperature peaks.

On Sept. 21, the police came for Larry Bushart.
They handcuffed him and hauled him away in the dead of night.
He spent 37 days in jail while held on a $2 million bond
— an amount the retired police officer could not afford.
It’s the sort of treatment one expects for accused murderers and thieves.
But Larry’s only “crime”?
In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, he posted a meme on Facebook
quoting President Trump’s remarks about a different …

I woke up angry today.
ICE spokesperson Lindsay Williams is a liar, who is bad at lying.
“Asked if the ICE officers chased Lopez, Williams said: ‘Chased? I wouldn’t say that. They followed him until he crashed.’”
Wouldn’t say that? How about: ICE was committing crime (their standard procedure), someone died, they’re the killers. Your people killed a school teacher, Williams.
Have the day you deserve, you apologist scum.

Driver fleeing ICE traffic stop crashes, kills teacher near Georgia school
Authorities in Georgia say a Guatemalan driver fleeing a Georgia traffic stop by federal immigration officers crashed into another vehicle, killing a teacher who was headed to work. Oscar Vasquez Lopez, the 38-year-old driver accused of causing the Monday crash just outside Savannah, remained jailed Tuesday on vehicular homicide and other charges. Court records don't list an attorney for him. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson says officers were looking to enforce a 2024 deport…
