Conclusive remarks Modified level-set function for premixed flamelet (G-eq) is derived to consider the flame thickness. Inage’s flame model (progress variable) is considered by phase-field method based on Allen-Cahn eq. Modified level-set function is consistent to phase-field method based on Allen-Cahn eq., where the hyperbolic tangent profile is a common approximated solution.
