Abstract

Many practical devices involving flows with chemical reactions operate in the turbulent flow regime. This is easily understood considering the fact that the chemical species must be put in contact at the molecular level for the reactions to proceed, a process which is intensified significantly by turbulent transport. In this chapter, we first discuss the modifications to the Navier–Stokes equations needed to model multicomponent reacting flows. Then, the models for both transport phenomena ...
