Abstract
In this work, a turbulent premixed Bunsen flame is simulated using a RANS approach for turbulence and a flamelet model for turbulence–chemistry interactions. In this flamelet model, the mean reaction rates are approximated using a progress variable approach and a Flame Prolongation of ILDM (FPI) for chemistry reduction. This method requires a presumption for the shape of the probability density function of the reaction progress variable. Two shapes have been examined: a widely used β-function and a modified laminar flamelet PDF. Radial distributions of the calculated temperature field, axial velocity and chemical species mass fraction have been compared with experimental data. This comparison shows that using the modified laminar flamelet PDF leads to predictions that are similar, and often superior to those obtained using the β-PDF. Given that the new PDF is based on the actual chemistry – as opposed to the ad hoc nature of the β-PDF – these results suggest that it is a better choice for the statistical description of the reaction progress variable in a highly strained turbulent field.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
