Upon combining the steady state flamelet solution with a
characteristic timescale, the time rate of change of species i can be written as:
where indicates filtering at the grid level and

LES Favre averaging。 ˜ij is the viscous term and often

This term represents the subgrid scale mixing effects。 Since it can not be determined from the resolved field, it
needs to be modeled。 The term is modeled using a j 2
tensor coefficient。 Using the dynamic procedure

The Leonard stress tensor can be determined from the
resolved field and a second filtered field, which is the resolved field filtered again by a test filter and this
process is denoted by
