The second-order velocity structure function statistics have been analysed using a DNS database of statistically planar turbulent premixed flames subjected to unburned gas forcing. The flames considered here represent combustion for moderate values of Karlovitz number from the wrinkled flamelets to the thin reaction zones regimes of turbulent premixed combustion. It has been found that the second-order structure functions exhibit the theoretical asymptotic scalings in the dissipative and (relatively short) inertial ranges. However, the constant of proportionality for the theoretical asymptotic variation for the inertial range changes from one case to another, and this value also changes with structure function orientation. The variation of the structure functions for small length scale separation remains proportional to the square of the separation distance. However, the constant of proportionality for the limiting behaviour according to the separation distance square remains significantly different from the theoretical value obtained in isotropic turbulence. The disagreement increases with increasing turbulence intensity. It has been found that turbulent velocity fluctuations within the flame brush remain anisotropic for all cases considered here and this tendency strengthens towards the trailing edge of the flame brush. It indicates that the turbulence models derived based on the assumptions of homogeneous isotropic turbulence may not be fully valid for turbulent premixed flames.

In turbulent premixed flames, for the mixing at a molecular level of reactants and products on the flame surface, it is crucial to sustain the combustion. This mixing phenomenon is featured by the scalar dissipation rate, which may be broadly defined as the rate of micro-mixing at small scales. This term, which appears in many turbulent combustion methods, includes the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) and the Probability Density Function (PDF), requires an accurate model. In this study, a mathematical closure for the conditional mean scalar dissipation rate, <Nc|ζ>, in Reynolds, Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) context is proposed and tested against two different Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) databases having different thermochemical and turbulence conditions. These databases consist of lean turbulent premixed V-flames of the CH4-air mixture and stoichiometric turbulent premixed flames of H2-air. The mathematical model has successfully predicted the peak and the typical profile of <Nc|ζ> with the sample space ζ and its prediction was consistent with an earlier study.
