The availability of large and fast computers, in combination with numerical techniques to compute transient, turbulent flow, has made it possible to simulate the process of turbulent, premixed combustion in a gas explosion in more detail. Hjertager (1982) was the first to develop a code for the computation of transient, compressible, turbulent, reactive flow. Its basic concept can be described as follows A gas explosion is a reactive fluid which expands under the influence of energy addition. Energy is supplied by combustion, which is modeled as a one-step conversion process of reactants into combustion products. The conversion (combustion)...

In turbulent reactive flows, the chemical species and temperature fluctuate in time and space. As a result, any variable can be decomposed in its mean and fluctuation. In Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations, only the means of the variables are computed. Therefore, a method to obtain a turbulent database (containing the means of species, temperature, etc.) from the laminar data is needed. In this work, the mean variables are calculated by PDF-averaging their laminar values with an assumed shape PDF function. For details the reader is referred to Refs. [16, 17]. In the combustion model, transport equations for the mean and variances of the mixture fraction and the progress variable and the mean mass fraction of NO are solved. More details about this turbulent implementation of the flamelet combustion model can also be found in Ref. [20],...
