Here, the gas-phase turbulent mixing in a three-stream concentric coaxial jet is investigated as a canonical problem. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations (RANS) suggest that the gas-phase mixing can be accurately modeled by air doped with passive scalars, for which small-scale resolving numerical simulations are performed with the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model as stand-alone tool. We show that both the spatial (S-ODT) and temporal (T-ODT) model formulations yield qualitatively similar results exhibiting reasonable to good agreement with available reference experiments, Reynolds-averaged and large-eddy simulations, as well as mixing models. This is demonstrated for low-order statistics, like the scalar variance and dissipation, but also the two-scalar joint probability density functions that can not be obtained with RANS. Our results suggest that S-ODT has better capabilities than T-ODT to model the mixing processes in the jet which we attribute to the account of local advective time scales.}, language = {en} }
