A filtered tabulated chemistry model for Large Eddy Simulation of reactive flows

to introduce tabulated chemistry methods in LES of turbulent premixed combustion. The main objective is to recover the correct propagation speed of the filtered flame front when the sub-grid scale wrinkling vanishes. The filtered flame structure is mapped by 1-D filtered laminar premixed flames. The methodology is first applied to 1-D filtered laminar flames. Computations show the capability of the model to recover the laminar flame speed and the correct chemical structure when flame wrinkling is fully resolved on the LES filter scale. The model is then extended to turbulent regimes by introducing sub-grid scale wrinkling effects on the flame propagation. LES’s of a 3-D turbulent premixed flame are performed on different grids, with different flame filter sizes. Objectives are to analyze the influence of the grid size, the flame filter size and the sub-grid flame wrinkling on the model performances. All these computations are compared to experimental data. I
