Title: Models for calculating reaction rates in turbulent, reacting flows

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6173648

Approaches developed to treat the effects of turbulent fluctuations on the determination of turbulent mean reaction rates were considered. The following approaches are described and their perceived limitations discussed: (1) assumed probability density function (PDF) models, (2) PDF transport equation models, (3) expansion and asymptotic methods, and (4) heuristic models. Recommendations are given for those investigators in the computational fluid dynamics field working on reacting flow problems.
