Review of Turbulent Reactive Flow CFD Simulation Methods

In this paper different approaches that mostly used in CFD simulation of reactive flows have been studied. Contents of the current study are included of turbulence reaction simulation by RANS, LES and DNS method and also simulation of multiphase flow by VOF, Eulerian-Eulerian and Eulerian-Lagrangian. Furthermore, simulation approaches of fast reaction processes respect to mixing time and common models and also their acceptable operational range have been presented in particular. Study of probability distribution function (PDF) models in which effect of reaction terms has been removed and also phenomenological models that are based on dominant micro-mixing time scale respect to reaction time scale have been considered.
