A flamelet-based combustion model is proposed for the prediction of wall heat transfer in rocket engines and confined combustion systems. To account for convective heat loss due to the interaction of the flame with the wall, a permeable thermal boundary condition is introduced in the counterflow diffusion flame configuration. The solution of the resulting nonadiabatic flame structure forms a three-dimensional manifold, which is parameterized in terms of mixture fraction, progress variable, and temperature. The performance of the model is first evaluated through a direct numerical simulation analysis of an H 2 / O 2 diffusion flame that is stabilized at an inert isothermal wall. The developed nonadiabatic flamelet model is shown to accurately predict the temperature, chemical composition, and wall heat transfer. Combined with a presumed probability density function closure, the model is then applied to large-eddy simulation of a single-injector rocket combustor to examine effects of heat transfer on the turbulent flame structure in rocket engines.
