Abstract

Heat release through chemical reactions in turbulence can affect small-scale flow motions, and change the statistics of the enstrophy production as well as thermochemical transport. By using numerical simulations of chemically reacting compressible isotropic turbulence, we found that the strong compression motions cause the destruction of enstrophy by the interaction between the vorticity and strain rate tensor, while strong expansion motions significantly enhance the generation of enstrophy.
