Niceno, B. (author)In this work, a new method was described for spatial discretization of threedimensional Navier Stokes equations in their primitive form, on unstructured, staggered grids. Velocities were placed on the cell faces and pressure in cell centers and were linked with the projection method. Thanks to the variable arrangement, no stabilization procedure...conference paper 2006

Schmidt, H. (author), Oevermann, M. (author), Münch, M. (author), Klein, R. (author)We present hybrid capturing/tracking methods for the simulation of turbulent premixed flames in meso- and large-scale geometries. Such schemes resemble a tracking schemes in that the flame front is explicitly computed and propagated using a level set method. The flame-flow-coupling uses in-cell-reconstruction. In cut cells, burnt and unburned...conference paper 2006
