Our research objective is the performance of Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) with the first order Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) of the test case experimentally studied by Markides and Mastorakos [1]. The experiment concerns auto-ignition of hydrogen, diluted with nitrogen, in a co-flow of heated air. A 19 step, nine species detailed mechanism is used for the reaction. Simulations reveal that the injected hydrogen mixes with co-flowing air and a diffusion flame is established. The configuration is sensitive to inlet boundary conditions, as all major turbulence effects are expected to be dominated by the inflow conditions. Preliminary LES results are presented. Stand-alone chemistry calculations are also presented to illustrate sensitivity on chemistry mechanisms.
