ABSTRACT = {This paper investigates possible inherent modifications of the radiative heat source term due to the influence of turbulence in the thermal radiation field 
of a gas turbine combustor flame. Adapting a flame temperature of 2000[K], COMSOL Multiphysics software was utilized to numerically simulate the 
process, assuming a gray gas participating medium with absorption coefficient of 0.03[m<sup>-1</sup>]. The analysis of the results for five (5) different radial cut 
sections of the simulated combustor chamber shows that turbulence-radiation interactions cause radiative heat losses from the flame, with the 
divergence of the radiative heat flux having a deviation factor of 3.48, and a 1.43% reduction in the local flame temperature, as observed at a critical 
radial section of the combustor chamber.},
