Abstract
As combustion generated nano-organic particles (NOC) may pose significant health and environmental problems, there is great scientific interest in studying their formation and evolution in turbulent combustion systems. Traditional approaches to turbulent combustion numerical modeling apply Reynolds averaging techniques (RANS) to predict the behavior of the mean values of the reacting flow properties. In this way, unsteady effects are not taken into account in the formation of nanoparticles. Large Eddy Simulation represents an attractive methodology for studying turbulent reacting flows and this approach is becoming possible as computational resources are increasing.
