Introduction  Eddy Dissipation Concept (RANS format)

The reaction rate is associated with the total turbulent kinetic energy (k) and dissipation rate (ε).

Both Ypr and min(Yfu, Yo2/r) can be 0 for some regions in the beginning of the fire----this creates an ignition problem!

Introduction  Eddy Dissipation Concept (LES format ???)

P1: Is it reasonable to calculate the reaction rate from the replacement of total kinetic energy and dissipation rate with SGS properties?

P2: γ is infinite close to the wall. It can also be huge in the internal domain due to local laminarization. This is non-physical.

P3: The ignition problem due to the χ formulation still exists, no matter what is the turbulence model.

Combustion Model  Reacting Fraction of Fine Structures Only the fraction of fine structures, χ, which is sufficiently heated will react. Therefore, where the temperature is higher, the possibility of combustion taking place near this area should be larger.

Conclusions  The original RANS based EDC has been extended to the LES frame and modified to overcome some important limitations.  Predictions with the modified EDC in LES frame are in reasonably good agreement with the experiment data for a range of pool fires tested.  The predictions are less satisfactory for small fires which tend to be laminar or with very low level of turbulent mixing.  Further improvement is required for the implementation of the soot model and its coupling with the EDC.
