Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Combustion via Filtered Mass Density Function

This paper provides a brief review of the scalar filtered mass density function (FMDF) model. The FMDF is a subgrid-scale probability density function (PDF) model for large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent combustion and is obtained by the solution of a set of stochastic differential equations by a Lagrangian Monte Carlo method. The applicability and the validity of the LES/FMDF are established by simulating various low and high speed, single- and two-phase turbulent reacting flows. The LES/FMDF results are found to be consistent and comparable to DNS and experimental results for different flows.
