On the modeling of the scalar correlations necessary to construct a second-order closure description of turbulent reacting flows

A tentative scheme is proposed for constructing second-order closure models of turbulent reacting flows, with particular reference to mixing processes in turbulent diffusion flows. The model is based on the concepts of typical structure and typical eddy, and treats various hypothetical turbulent flame situations, including the time dependence of species mass fractions passing a point in the flame, the most typical occurrence of species mass fractions, and the case of a rather bizarre typical eddy which shows the effects of nonmixedness.
