Filtered Density Function for Subgrid Scale Modeling of Turbulent Combustion

Abstract

This research was concentrated primarily on developments and applications of the filtered density function (FDF) for subgrid scale (SGS) modeling of turbulent reacting flows. During the past three years, this work addressed: (1) development of the joint velocity-scalar filtered mass density function (VSFMDF), (2) development of the joint frequency-velocity-scalar filtered mass density function (FVS-FMDF), and (3) implementation of the scalar filtered mass density function (SFMDF) and VSFMDF for large eddy simulation of complex turbulent flames. This is a final report of our activities sponsored by AFOSR under Grant FA9550-06-1-0015.
