The FLAMEX Solver
FLAMEX is a suite of solvers able to compute high accuracy solutions to non-linear non-local asymptotics-based evolution equations (EE), of 1rt For propagatong fronts, the EEM (Evolution Equation Modeling) can be found by solving exactly the set of
- Euler equations
- Rankine-Hugoniot jump relations
- the local kinematic relation defining the local front velocity (e.g. with respect to local curvature).
when the density contrast between 'hot' and 'cold' fluids is asymptotically small.

Main features
- Solving first-order or second order EE in the Fourier or Fourier-Legendre basis.
- Time resolution using ETDRK1 and 4, using contour integrals to avoid cancelation errors (Trefethen et al. 2005)
- EEM for 2D or 3D planar, 3D expanding/converging fronts, acoustics, fast-transients..
- Laminar or turbulent configurations (EE with additive noise, e.g. Passot-Pouquet, Kraichnan-Celik, Von Karman/Pao or 'DNS turbulence')

Notice the 'soccer-ball' and 'cauliflower' aspects of the front, as described by Zel'dovitch in the 40's.

Sub-module for asymptotic modeling of Flame-Balls
A sub-module of FLAMEX has also been devoted to the numerical solution to flame-balls (FB) dynamics. Using a Batchelor approximation for the surrounding Lagrangian flow and high activation energy asymptotics, we derived a nonlinear forced (stochastic) integrodifferential equation for the current FB radius. This gives access to the FB response to the ambiant Lagrangian rate-of-strain tensor g(t). For a diagonal g(t) deduced from random Markov processes of the Ornstein- Uhlenbeck type, or linearly filtered versions thereof, extensive numerical simulations and approximate theoretical analyses agree that
- flame balls can definitely live for much longer than their time of spontaneous expansion/collapse;
- large enough values of t_life are compatible with Poisson statistics;
- the variations of with the characteristics of g(t) mirror the latter’s statistics, more precisely that of trace(g*g).
