| contents | This study presents a comprehensive a priori analysis of tabulated-chemistry models for both laminar and turbulent lean premixed hydrogen flames in strained counterflow configuration. Particular focus is drawn on differential and preferential diffusion effects and the synergistic interaction of thermodiffusive instabilities and turbulence that existing models struggle to capture. Through detailed assessment of various modelling approaches at unfiltered and filtered grids, we identify significant limitations in traditional unstretched flamelet manifolds, particularly their strong filter dependence and systematic reaction rate mispredictions. To address these challenges, we introduce and evaluate novel strained flamelet approaches, including: (1) a one-dimensional manifold constructed from a single strained flamelet that provides computationally efficient and reliable consumption speed predictions at coarser grids, and (2) a two-dimensional manifold combining fixed strain with varying equivalence ratio that demonstrates improved performance in predicting the local reaction rates across multiple grid resolutions. Additionally, we develop a correction methodology derived from laminar simulations that significantly improves consumption speed predictions of unstretched flamelet manifolds in turbulent settings. Unlike previous works, our solutions maintain computational efficiency without increasing manifold dimensionality, keeping memory costs unchanged. These advancements provide guidance for developing reliable LES models that properly account for differential and preferential diffusion and strain effects in practical hydrogen combustion systems. |
