Simulations of a turbulent non-premixed flame using combined dimension reduction and tabulation for combustion chemistry

► Advanced methods are needed for the use of detailed hydrocarbon chemistry in simulations. ► We demonstrate a method for accelerating chemistry calculations in CFD. ► We simulate a bluff-body-stabilized non-premixed turbulent methane/air flame. ► NOx and CO emissions have been accurately and efficiently modeled. ► Combustion models have no impacts on reduced description of reactive flows.
