We present a numerical technique to approximate the solution of a simplified model of turbulent combustion. The method, which is particularly suited for flows at high Reynolds number, uses random vortex element techniques coupled to a flame propagation algorithm based on Huyghens' principle. We use this technique to analyze combustion in open and closed vessels. In the first experiment, we model a flame propagating in a swirling, viscous flow inside a closed square. Our results show the growth and development of counterrotating turbulent eddies and their effect on the flame. In the second experiment, we model turbulent combustion within a channel, in which flow enters through a slit at one end. Results detail the effects of exothermicity and viscosity on the speed and shape of the burning front.
