Large Eddy Simulation has been applied to a piloted methane/air diffusion flame—the Sandia D flame—for which detailed experimental data are available. To evaluate the reacting density, temperature and species mass fractions a conserved scalar laminar flamelet formulation is employed, utilising a single virtually unstrained flamelet. The results of two simulations are discussed, comparing the use of the standard Smagorinsky model and a dynamic variant for closure of the unknown sub-grid stress. The chosen sub-grid scale model is shown to be extremely influential on the final solution. Whilst the use of the standard model results in a relatively poor simulation the dynamic closure offers an excellent velocity field prediction throughout the flame. Although the flame does show some strain rate influence on burning, particularly close to the inlet nozzle, the relatively simple ‘unstrained’ flamelet model applied is shown to provide an accurate representation of temperature and major species distribution.
