PPDF Model Applied to Non-Adiabatic Equilibrium

In the non-adiabatic case, all properties are functions of the mixture fraction and enthalpy. Therefore, the averaged value of any scalar in a turbulent flow field is the instantaneous value integrated over the joint PPDF of and :

(20)

STAR-CCM+ makes a statistical independence assumption for so that:

(21)

and further assumes a Dirac delta function for . In other words, the mean value of enthalpy is used in the calculation of:

(22)

The integrals in Eqn. 10, Eqn. 18 and Eqn. 22 are pre-computed. When the value of an integral is needed during the calculation, a simple interpolation is all that is needed to provide the correct value.
