Abstract

This chapter presents the basics of mixing in turbulent flow, starting with the notion of mixture fraction. This formulation can be extended to flows with various mixture fractions, when the number of reactions is small. Following is presented the basics of turbulent flows, such as turbulence scales, and the averages of Reynolds and Favre, which are useful for writing the reactive Navier equations. Notions of turbulence and models for the turbulent viscosity to be used with large-eddy simulation (LES) are presented. LES is the preferred technique, because there are no conditions for solving realistic Reynolds numbers, encountered in practice, using direct numerical simulation techniques.
