This article presents a numerical simulation of high hydrogen/air flames using the Lagrangian transported PDF method. This method enables the calculation of fluid composition changes resulting from convection and reaction without the need for modelling, while requiring modelling for molecular mixing. Consequently, the accuracy of calculations in this L-PDF method heavily relies on an accurate representation of the mixture model term. The Euclidean model, which provides a better description of physical mixing processes, is well-suited for modelling the molecular mixing term EMST. Additionally, the accuracy of this model depends on the value of the mixing constant, representing the ratio between the mechanical time scale and the scalar time scale. Two algebraic models for the mixing constant have been implemented in the computational code, employing a well-defined function to calculate this ratio for each cell. These models contribute to memory and CPU time savings. To account for turbulence and its interaction with physical phenomena, the RSM model is employed due to its ability to identify different areas of turbulent stresses. Hence, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the capabilities of these algebraic models in predicting scalar fields within such flames. Overall, the predictions align well with experimental data, affirming the validity of these models.
