- Abstract
- A modified version of the k-e-g model of turbulence is used to calculate the rate of burning of large-scale vertical walls. The standard k-e-g procedure is generalized by the introduction of algebraic formulas for the stresses and the mass/energy turbulent fluxes, and by the use of wall correction fcators.
