Explicit filtering, to emulate the effect of the LES filter, is applied to one-dimensional laminar flame and three-dimensional planar turbulent flames across a wide range of Karlovitz numbers (5 - 239). The identification of the flame front by CEMA is found relatively insensitive to the cell size (Δ), while the combustion mode identification shows more significant sensitivity. Specifically, increasing Δ falsely enhances the auto-ignition and local extinction modes and suppresses the diffusion-assisted mode. Limited dependence of the CEMA performance on the turbulent combustion regime (Karlovitz number) is observed. A simple grid size criterion for reliable CEMA mode identification in LES is proposed as Δ ≲ δ_L/2; The criterion can be relaxed to Δ ≲ δ_L in the laminar flame limit. Furthermore, theoretical analysis is conducted on an idealised chemistry-diffusion system. The effects of the filtering process and turbulence on the local combustion mode are demonstrated, which is consistent with the numerical observations. Further, by incorporating turbulent combustion models in CEMA, potential improvement in identifying local combustion modes can be expected.
