For turbulent flames containing significant turbulence-chemistry interactions, the accuracy of PDF model calculations depends on the accurate representation of the chemistry and on the mixing model (including the value of the mixing-model constant, C-phi). In recent work, Cao and Pope demonstrated that accurate calculations of the Barlow and Frank piloted jet flames D, E and F are achieved using the GR13.0 mechanism and the EMST mixing model (with C-phi = 1.5). In the present paper, further PDF model calculations (using GRI3.0) are performed in order to investigate the performance of three mixing models (EMST, IEM and MC) and their dependence on the specified value of C-phi. It is shown that all three models are capable of yielding levels of local extinction (quantified by a burning index) comparable to the experimental observations, but this is achieved using C-phi = 3.3 for IEM, and C-phi = 3.8 for MC (compared to C-phi = 1.5 for EMST). However, in these calculations with IEM and MC, the mixture fraction variance is significantly underpredicted: only the EMST model is capable of calculating accurately both the observed burning indexes and the mixture fraction variance. The findings of this study, the first comparative study of mixing models in the Barlow and Frank flames, are related to previous observations. (C) 2006 The Combustion Institute.
