Abstract

A hybrid Reynolds averaged/assumed probability density function (PDF) approach has been developed and applied to the study of turbulent combustion in a supersonic mixing layer. This approach is used to address the “larainar-lilte"” treatment of the thermochemical terms that appear in the conservation equations. Calculations were carried out for two experiments involving H2-air supersonic turbulent mixing. Two different forms of the PDF were im­plemented. In general, the results show modest improvement from previous calculations. Moreover, the results appear to be somewhat independent of the form of the assumed PDF.
