Galilean invariance flame test problem. Color maps show the 12C mass fraction, with the top left panel showing the initial conditions. The boundary conditions are such that the initial composition is inflowing through the bottom at speed v in and the flame is burning to the right at speed v f . The top right panel is for v in = 0 and v f = v l = 76 km s −1, i.e., laminar flame with no cross wind. The bottom two panels have v in = 500 km s −1, with the left panel using v f = v l and the right v f = 100 km s −1. The black lines in the bottom panels show the expected steady-state slope of the flame-ash interface. Neglecting curvature effects from the inflow boundary condition, the expected behavior is very nearly reproduced.
