[Dissipation du scalaire et densité de surface de flamme en combustion turbulente prémélangée]
Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, Volume 334 (2006) no. 8-9, pp. 466-473.

Une nouvelle version modélisée de l'équation de transport pour la densité de surface de flamme en combustion turbulente prémélangée est obtenue, sur la base d'une équation pour la dissipation du scalaire qui avait été préalablement obtenue par les mêmes auteurs. Comme pour ce précédent travail, l'expansion volumique due au dégagement de chaleur est trouvée jouer un rôle important dans la détermination de la densité de surface de flamme. Une approximation algébrique de l'équation de transport est obtenue, sur la base d'une analyse d'ordre de grandeur, qui se révèle être en très bon accord avec des données obtenues par DNS. Finalement, des calculs de flamme laminaire sont utilisés pour estimer l'un des paramètres principaux du nouveau modèle.

A new closed version of the transport equation for the flame surface density in premixed turbulent combustion is derived, on the basis of an equation for the scalar dissipation that has previously been proposed by the present authors. As in this earlier work, volume expansion due to heat release is found to have an important role in determining the flame surface density. An algebraic approximation to the transport equation is obtained, on the basis of an order-of-magnitude analysis, and is found to be in good agreement with data from DNS. Finally, laminar flame calculations are used to estimate a key parameter in the new model.
