the computation of radiation with both the CR-WSGG and NCR-WSGG models provided better results than GG model, when compared with experimental data. For the combustion chamber and turbulence and combustion models employed in the present work, it was shown that the CR-WSGG is the recommended model, due to the acceptable agreement with experimental data and relatively low computational requirements in comparison to the NCR-WSGG model. The results show the importance of thermal radiation for an accurate prediction of the thermal behavior of a combustion chamber.
