Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents the results of an investigation into a possible alternative to Monte Carlo methods for solving the transported probability density function (PDF) equation for scalars (compositions). The method uses a finite‐volume approach combined with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) in a multi‐dimensional compositional space. Comparisons are made between the new method and Monte Carlo solutions for analytical test cases involving the reaction of two or three chemical species. These tests demonstrate the potential of the new method in terms of both accuracy and run time. Additional test cases involving various models for molecular mixing were also conducted with similar conclusions. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
