Abstract
A review of using large-eddy simulation (LES) in computational fluid dynamic stud- ies of internal combustion engines is presented. Background material on turbulence model- ling, LES approaches, specifically for engines, and the expectations of LES results are discussed. The major modelling approaches for turbulence, combustion, scalars, and liquid sprays are discussed. In each of these areas, a taxonomy is presented for the various types of models appropriate for engines. Advantages, disadvantages, and examples of use in the litera- ture are described for the various types of models. Several recent examples of engine studies using LES are discussed. Recommendations and future prospects are included.

Stratified turbulent flames: Recent advances in understanding the influence of mixture inhomogeneities on premixed combustion and modeling challenges

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce experimental facilities and numerical tools applied to investigating inhomogeneously premixed flames, and summarize recent progress in revealing and understanding local phenomena (e.g., back-supported combustion or generation of flame surface area) that stem from the influence of mixture inhomogenities on flame propagation through flammable reactants.
