| contents | The combined influence of elevated pressure and temperature, representative of gas-turbine operating conditions, on lean premixed hydrogen flames is investigated using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a turbulent jet. Three cases are considered: 1 atm/298 K, 5 atm/472 K, and 20 atm/700 K, scaled to maintain the same jet Reynolds number and nominal Karlovitz number in the unburnt mixture, enabling a direct comparison of flame-turbulence interactions. Although the combined effects are moderate overall due to compensating influences, measurable differences arise in flame structure and turbulence-flame coupling. They are driven by reduced turbulence dissipation within the flame at high pressure and temperature, which enhances the interaction between turbulence and thermodiffusive effects. Finally, the tangential strain rate exhibits the same universal Kolmogorov scaling observed in homogeneous-isotropic turbulence and in methane flames, confirming its robustness for modelling turbulence |
