Notes:
Turbulent flow and combustion. Flame-generated turbulence was long a topic of lively discussion. Since the hot gases arising on combustion are much more viscous than, e.g. cold air and cold natural gas, the Reynolds number of a flow system is more likely to fall. Indeed, combustion is observed to promote laminar flow at low Reynolds numbers. The concept of “flame-generated” turbulence was imprecisely defined; a predominant thought was concerned with the turbulence-reinforcing effect of combustion in an existing field of turbulent flow. Some authors doubted whether such an effect is possible. Meanwhile, it has been established that combustion can affect turbulent exchange in various ways, as demonstrated in this paper.
