Quality issues in combustion LES (Q408998)

This paper discusses large error eddy simulations (LES) in the non-premixed, partially premixed and premixed combustion. The major problem with the combustion LES is the wide range of chemical and mixing time scales to be resolved with the computational grids adopted for the simulation. The authors also point out that the combustion models developed for the RANS of high Reynolds number flow can often not be used in LES, as these models do not converge properly with the grid refinement. The paper also discusses the applicability of the error landscape approach to flame simulation, where the reference data were obtained from the experiment. However, the paper does not provide a robust method for the flow simulation in a reacting flow.
