This paper reviews the fundamentals of conditional moment closure (CMC) methods for the
prediction of turbulent reacting flows, with particular emphasis on combustion. It also surveys …

▪ Abstract The ability of turbulent flows to effectively mix entrained fluids to a molecular scale
is a vital part of the dynamics of such flows, with wide-ranging consequences in nature and …

Equations governing the variation through the flow field of averages of quantities such as
species mass fractions, conditional on mixture fraction, are derived and modeled. The …

The development of the basic conceptual viewpoints, or paradigms, for turbulent combustion
in gases over the last 50 years is reviewed. Significant progress has been made. Recent …

The challenge appearing in the title of this paper is directed to the whole combustion
research community. In recent decades, combustion science has made remarkable …

This book provides physical intuition and key entries to the ever-growing body of literature
on turbulent reacting flows. It is of a tutorial nature and includes some historical perspective …

The linear-eddy turbulent mixing model, formulated to capture the distinct influences of
turbulent convection and molecular transport on turbulent mixing of diffusive scalars, is …

Turbulent combustion research is projected to be an important area of research well into the
twenty-first century. Issues of current interest in turbulent flame structure and computational …

Scalar dissipation is of great importance in the theory and modelling of combustion and
other reacting turbulent flows. Measurements of scalar dissipation are found to lack the …

Kinetic energy and reactive scalar spectra in turbulent premixed flames are studied from
compressible three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a temporally evolving …
