Turbulent Combustion

Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo

For my PhD thesis, and subsequent year as Post Doc at the University of Sydney, Australia, I worked mostly with the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC), a state-of-the-art model that is used to capture turbulence-chemistry interactions (e.g., Mortensen (2004)Mortensen & Bruyn Kops (2008). From 2005-2006 I had the great honour of working with Prof. Robert W. Bilger as a Post Doctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney, Australia. In Sydney I worked on CMC for spray combustion Mortensen & Bilger (2009) and a version of my consistent turbulent mixer model Mortensen (2005) that I have called the presumed mapping function approach Mortensen & Andersson (2006)Sayed et al. (2014). The presumed mapping functions have been implemented in the open source package PMFpack, available under a GNU Lesser General Public License. My work on CMC led to several papers in collaboration with Prof. Steve de Bruyn Kops, using very large Direct Numerical Simulations to validate turbulence-chemistry models Bruyn Kops & Mortensen (2005)Cha et al. (2006)Mortensen et al. (2007).
