Abstract:

PDF methods provide a means of calculating the properties of turbulent reacting flows. They have been successfully applied to many turbulent flames, including some with finite-rate kinetic effects. Here the methods are reviewed with an emphasis on computational issues and on their application to turbulent combustion.
