The front propagation formulation (FPF) for large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent premixed flames is presented and discussed. The FPF method adopts a regularized Dirac delta function to minimize the spurious propagation of under-resolved filtered flame fronts in LES, while reproducing the reaction characteristics of premixed flame fronts. Here, the extension of the FPF method to LES and the relation to existing sub-filter combustion models are discussed. An algebraic model for the regularized Dirac delta function is presented and validated using direct numerical simulation (DNS) data for statistically planar premixed flames propagating in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. A posteriori validation for a filtered 1-D planar laminar flame is performed to demonstrate the characteristics of FPF in reproducing the propagation speed and the thickness of the under-resolved flame front. LES of a turbulent Bunsen flame is also performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
