Hi everyone, I have a question concerning the computation of a reacting flow (combustion).

Do you think it is possible to compute a flame using the SIMPLE method?

What I think is that, assuming steady state (so no acoustics going on) and for low-Mach number flows, the gases are essentially incompressible (density differences only due to temperature changes, since the pressure is almost constant accross the flame), therefore I think that it is possible to compute it with an incompressible code (I'm particularly referring to the methodology proposed in Versteeg & Malalasekera or Patankar).

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Michujo.
