Abstract
A tabulated, pseudo-turbulent Probability Density Function (PDF) model for premixed combustion is proposed. The Linear-Eddy Model (LEM) is used to construct the PDFs for a temperature-based progress variable in a premixed, turbulent methane/air V-flame produced by the Cambridge slot burner. As a second case study, the LEM PDFs are similarly compared to PDFs extracted from Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a turbulent premixed flame. LEM demonstrates the ability to reproduce the salient features from experimental and DNS PDFs; moreover, it is able to better capture turbulent effects than previously suggested laminar flamelet PDF models. The Scalar Dissipation Rate (SDR) for premixed combustion is likewise investigated. The stochastic nature of LEM enables it to mimic the overall behaviors of turbulent reactions inexpensively and qualitatively. Crucially, LEM appears to be well suited for the preprocessing tabulation of PDF and SDR models for a number of premixed combustion simulation strategies.
