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.

The rules of abstention (khatha kamma; ข้อห้ามศิษย์ยันต์) for sak yant tattoos vary depending on the master. Each lineage may prescribe slightly different codes of conduct, which are considered essential to preserve the power of the yant. The following are the rules traditionally taught at Wat Bang Phra:

• Do not become romantically involved with someone who is already married.

Trump’s pledge to raise the global baseline tariff rate from 10% to 15% is reverberating across markets, with investors now weighing whether a recent rally in overseas equities can hold.
In a post on TruthSocial, Trump said he would immediately increase the worldwide tariff rate to 15% following a Supreme Court decision related to trade authority. He also signaled that additional, “legally permissible” tariffs could be introduced in the coming months, reinforcing a more aggressive trade…
