Abstract
The problem of propagation of turbulent premixed flame is analyzed using the field equation introduced recently by Kerstein, Ashurst and Williams (1987). The dynamic renormalization group method is applied to this equation and the formula for the turbulent flame velocity is derived in the lowest order in the ε-expansion. The formula, which does not include adjustable parameters, agrees well with experimental (Abdel-Gayed et al., 1984) and numerical (Ashurst & Barr 1983) results on flame propagation in high-Reynolds number turbulent media. Ways to design transport and large-eddy (sub-grid) models for simulation of combustion processes, based on the ideas developed in the present paper, are discussed.
