Comparison of different radiation treatments for a one-dimensional diffusion flame

A comparison of several radiative heat transfer models is made for a stagnation-point diffusion flame at low stretch rate, with CO2 and H2O as the participating media. Computed results of the radiative source distribution for wideband, narrowband and SLWSGG show reasonable agreement with each other. Results from the optically thin and grey gas models with Planck mean absorption coefficient are shown to underestimate the self-absorption and...
