LES-ODT study of turbulent premixed interacting flames
The LES-ODT model is implemented for the study of twin turbulent premixed flames in decaying isocropic turbulence. The approach is based on the coupling of large-eddy simulation (LES) for mass and momentum with a fixed 3D lattice of 1D fine-grained solutions based on the one-dimensional turbulence (DOT) model. The DOT solutions for momentum and reactive scalars are designed to capture subgrid scale physics that is not captured by LES. The LES-ODT formulation is capable of capturing important fine-scale processes, such as flame-flame interactions, which play an important role in flame shortening in turbulent premixed flames, and the role of preferential diffusion on curved flames' structures.
