Book excerpt: The aims of this thesis are to apply the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and beta Probability Density Function ([beta]-PDF) for the simulation of turbulent non-premixed reacting flow, in particularly for the predictions of soot and NO production, and to investigate the radiative heat transfer during combustion process applying Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM). LES seeks the solution by separating the flow field into large-scale eddies, which carry the majority of the energy and are resolved directly, and small-scale eddies, which have been modelled via Smagorinsky model with constant Cs (Smagorinsky model constant) as well as its dynamic calibration. This separation has been made by applying a filtering approach to the governing equations describing the turbulent reacting flow. Firstly, LES technique is applied to investigate the turbulent flow, temperature and species concentrations during the combustion process within an axi-symmetric model cylindrical combustion chamber.
