This paper describes the evaluation of turbulence/radiation effects on a swirl flame. The data obtained from a LES calculation in this case provides time-varying temperature field and species concentrations contributing to radiation fluctuations. In the radiation calculations demonstrated here, time varying data obtained from the LES calculations are post processed using the Discrete Transfer method incorporating a radiative property calculation algorithm to obtain radiation fluctuation statistics. The study provides an insight into how radiation fluxes, absorption coefficients and radiation intensities fluctuate in a highly turbulent complex practical flame. Simulation results show that temperature self correlation can be as high as 4 times and turbulence fluctuations has a very significant effect on source term calculations.
