Titre: Detailed Chemistry Simulation of Turbulent Reacting Flows: Current Status and Future Directions

In this talk I will give an overview of methods for simulating turbulent reacting flows with detailed chemistry. In particular, we will look at probability density function (PDF) methods for treating the chemical source term. I will next give a brief introduction to full PDF simulations based on Lagrangian particle methods. When using detailed chemistry, full PDF methods can be very expensive unless smart tabulation algorithms are employed. In this talk I will describe one such method - in-situ adaptive tabulation (ISAT). I will finish with two example applications of full PDF methods to simulate chemical reactors.
