Popis: The paper is aimed at evaluating the impact of the combustion model on the accuracy of the results of the numerical simulations of turbulent reactive flows. For this, two numerical simulations of the well known Sandia Flame D case are carried out: a three-dimensional RANS integration of the Navier–Stokes equations using the Eddy Dissipation combustion Model (EDM), and a one-dimensional one, where simplified reaction–diffusion equations are numerically integrated over the radial direction, while the axial convection is modeled by empirical laws. The one-dimensional simulation, however, is based on a more physics related combustion model, the Linear Eddy Mixing model, which also controls the radial turbulent mixing and the large scale radial convection. The results of the two numerical simulations are compared to experimental data in the literature, showing a significantly better accuracy of the Linear Eddy Mixing (LEM) numerical simulation.
