Three facets of turbulent combustion modelling: DNS of premixed V-flame, LES of lifted nonpremixed flame and RANS of jet-flame

Three aspects of turbulent combustion modelling are discussed to provide an overview of numerical simulation of turbulent flames. The three examples reported concern direct numerical simulation (DNS), large eddy simulation (LES) and Reynolds average Navier–Stokes (RANS) calculations. Recent developments in DNS deal with the possibility of performing a full simulation of a premixed turbulent V-flame evolving in grid turbulence. The DNS data are useful to improve modelling of turbulent micromixing, in terms of the scalar dissipation rate of a reaction progress variable. Many combustion systems operate with reactants that have been partially premixed by unsteady large-scale motions. In this context, LES of partially premixed turbulent-lifted flame bases are reported, with a subgrid procedure that accounts for the combination of premixed and nonpremixed combustion regimes observed in such flames. Then, some developments are proposed to improve the prediction capabilities of RANS methods applied to complex com...
