Analyzing the effect of dilatation on the velocity gradient tensor using a model problem
Résumé
The effect of variable mass density on the velocity gradient tensor is addressed by means of a model problem. An equation system for both the velocity gradient and the pressure Hessian tensor is solved assuming a realistic expansion rate. The model results show the evolution of the velocity gradient tensor as the density front is approached and are relevant to the physics of flame fronts.
