In the enhanced FGM model, a transported probability density function (TPDF) description of the FGM variables is employed. The TPDF is represented using the Eulerian stochastic fields (ESF) approach, and the method is applied to LES of spray combustion under conditions relevant to internal combustion engines. The new ESF/FGM method achieves an improved accuracy of predictions due to the ESF modelling of the subgrid-scale turbulence-chemistry interaction. It also achieves high computational efficiency due to the FGM tabulation of the chemical kinetic mechanism. The performance of the new ESF/FGM model is assessed by simulation of the Spray-A flames from Engine Combustion Network (ECN) and comparison of the results, firstly, with experimental measurements, and secondly, with conventional FGM model simulation results. It is shown that the ESF/FGM method is capable of predicting both global and local combustion characteristics, i.e., pressure rise, ignition delay time, flame lift-off length and the thermo-chemical structure of the spray flames with improved accuracy compared to the conventional FGM model that is based on the presumed PDF description of FGM variables. The sensitivity of the predictions using ESF/FGM to the number of stochastic fields is examined by varying the number of these fields in the range of 4–128. Furthermore, the influence of different FGM reaction progress variables on the simulations is investigated, and a new reaction progress variable based on the local consumption of oxygen is proposed.

However, literature estimates for the HO<sub>2</sub> + C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub> reaction rate are inaccurate and inconsistent with recent theoretical calculations, thus generating discrepancies in global combustion kinetic models. In this work, we perform state-of-the-art theoretical calculations for the HO<sub>2</sub> + C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub> reaction including variable reaction coordinate transition state theory for barrierless channels, accurate thermochemistry, and multi-well master equation (ME) simulations.
