The interaction of turbulence with progress variable, c, field in a premixed flame is studied. This interaction is characterized by the correlation c,ieijc,j¯, where the overbar denotes an appropriate averaging process, c,i is the gradient of c in spatial direction i and eij is the turbulence strain rate. The importance of this term is recognized via a transport equation for the square of the magnitude of the scalar gradient in turbulent premixed flames. It is also shown that the above correlation forms a natural part of the tangential strain rate which appears in the flame surface density, Σ, equation. It is well known that this correlation is negative signifying the scalar gradient production by incompressible turbulence via the preferential alignment of the scalar gradient with the most compressive principal strain rate. This physical picture is commonly adopted for turbulent premixed flames also. Contrary to this, analyses of direct numerical simulation data for a turbulent premixed flame having flame...
