Abstract

Simulations of turbulent CH4-air counterflow flames are presented, obtained in terms of zero and two-dimensional first-order Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) to study the flame structure and extinction limits. The CMC equation with detailed chemistry is solved without the need for operator splitting, while the accompanying flow field is determined using a commercial CFD software employing a Reynolds stress turbulence model and additional transport equations for the turbulent scalar flux and for the mean scalar dissipation rate. Two detailed chemical mechanisms and different conditional scalar dissipation rate models have been examined and small differences were found.
