Computational Models for Turbulent Reacting Flows
This book presents the current state of the art putational models for turbulent reacting
flows, and analyzes carefully the strengths and weaknesses of the various techniques
described. The focus is on formulation of practical models as opposed to numerical issues
arising from their solution.
A theoretical framework based on the one-point, one-time joint probability density
function (PDF) is developed. It is shown that monly employed models for turbu-
lent reacting flows can be formulated in terms of the joint PDF of the chemical species and
enthalpy. Models based on direct closures for the chemical source term as well as trans-
ported PDF methods, are covered in detail. An introduction to the theory of turbulence
and turbulent scalar transport is provided pleteness.
The book is aimed at chemical, mechanical, and aerospace engineers in academia and
industry, as well as developers putational fluid dynamics codes for reacting flows.
