We present an adaptive projection method for modeling unsteady, low-Mach reacting flow in an unconfined region. The equations are based on a model for low-Mach number combustion that consists of evolution equations coupled with a constraint on the divergence of the flow. The algorithm is based on a projection methodology in which we first advance the evolution equations and then solve an elliptic equation to enforce the divergence constraint. The adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) scheme uses a time-varying hierarchy of rectangular grids. The integration scheme is a recursive procedure in which coarse grids are advanced, fine grids are advanced to the same time as the coarse grids, and the coarse and fine grid data are then synchronized.
