Recently, a fractal-based algebraic flame surface density (FSD) premixed combustion model has been derived and validated in the context of large eddy simulation (LES). The fractal parameters in the model, namely the cut-off scales and the fractal dimension were derived using theoretical models, experimental and direct numerical simulation (DNS) databases. The model showed good performance in predicting the premixed turbulent flame propagation for low to high Reynold numbers (Re) in ambient as well as elevated pressure conditions. Several LES combustion models have a direct counterpart in the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) context. In this work, a RANS version of the aforementioned LES subgrid scale FSD combustion model is developed. The performance of the RANS model is compared with that of the original LES model and validated with the experimental data. It is found that the RANS version of the model shows similarly good agreement with the experimental data.
