Strain rate and curvature effects on Surface Density Function (SDF) transport in the thin reaction zones regime are studied using a three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) with a single-step Arrhenius type chemistry. It is shown that if the tangential strain rate on a flame isosurface exceeds a critical value, then a negative normal strain rate is induced, which acts to bring the isoscalar lines closer to each other and hence leads to a higher value of SDF. This is reflected in a positive correlation between SDF and tangential strain rate. Curvature is also found to affect SDF through the correlation between tangential strain rate and curvature on a given flame isosurface. Strain rate and curvature are found to have an appreciable effect on various terms of the SDF transport equation. The SDF straining term is correlated positively with tangential strain rate as expected and is also correlated negatively with the curvature. The combined SDF curvature and propagation terms operate as a source ...
