Abstract Citing articles (2255)

The aim of the methods described is to calculate the properties of turbulent

reactive flow fields. At each point in the flow field, a complete statistical Article Metrics

The objective of the paper is to provide a comprehensive and

understandable of the theoretical foundations of the pdf approach.
