An evaluation of the submodels constituting the Double-Conditioned Source-term Estimation (DCSE) method for utilization in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is presented which makes use of a single realization of a turbulent high-pressure reactive-flow database obtained from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). A filtered and coarsened DNS (FCDNS) field is first created to mimic a real LES field, and the FCDNS values for thermodynamic variables (temperature, density and species mass fractions) are used as inputs to the DCSE model to predict the FCDNS reaction rates. It is found that there are significant errors in the predictions of the filtered reaction rate compared to the template.
