Direct numerical simulation of hydrogen-carbon monoxide turbulent premixed flame

Environmental issues and new regulations for pollutant emissions lead to consider alternative fuels for the new generation of power generators such as hydrogen, syngas, green diesel, or biodiesel. In this context, a deeper understanding of the interaction between turbulent structures and chemical kinetics is needed to design burner optimized for these fuels. A mixture of hydrogen-carbon monoxide (CO/H2 50–50%) and air is here considered as a model for syngas flames
