heal.abstract	A computational tool is developed to assist the prediction of the high-pressure premixed flame characteristics and to evaluate the performance of turbulent flames impinging on to a surface. The approach combines several components that can be generally applied to the analysis of premixed combusting flows. It accounts for turbulence, chemical reaction, mass transfer and heat transfer by convection and radiation. Special attention is paid in the evaluation of the combustion controlling mechanisms through the prediction of volumetric and kinetically controlled reaction rates. The combustion and flow characteristics are modelled using a finite volume computational approach. A propane-oxygen and a natural gas-oxygen premixed flame are simulated under high pressure. It is shown how mass savings can be achieved through fuel substitution. The environmental impact resulting from the fuel substitution is discussed.	en
