Abstract
A new sub-grid mixing model for use in large eddy simulations of turbulent combustion is presented and applied to a hydrogen-air diffusion flame. The sub-grid model is based on Kerstein's Linear Eddy Model (1988). The model is first used to predict the mixing of a conserved scalar in a turbulent shear flow. The model correctly predicts the behavior of the pdf of the scalar field and displays a nonmarching peak at the preferred mixture fraction as the shear layer is traversed. It is then illustrated how a reduced chemical mechanism can be implemented within the linear eddy subgrid model formulation. The model is used to predict NO formation in hydrogen-air diffusion flame using a reduced chemical mechanism involving nine reactive scalars.
