Abstract/Summary:
Large-eddy simulation (LES) is emerging as a promising computational tool for reacting flows. High-order schemes for LES are desirable to achieve improved solution accuracy with reduced computational cost. In this study, a parallel, block-based, three-dimensional high-order central essentially non-oscillatory (CENO) finite-volume scheme for LES of premixed turbulent combustion is developed for Cartesian mesh. This LES formulation makes use of the flame surface density (FSD) for subfilter-scale reaction rate modelling. An algebraic model is used to approximate the FSD. A detailed explanation of the governing equations for LES and the mathematical framework for CENO schemes are presented. The CENO reconstruction is validated and is also applied to three-dimensional Euler equations prior to its application to the equations governing LES of reacting flows.
