Abstract

A method for reduction of detailed chemical reaction mechanisms, introduced earlier for ignition systems, was extended to laminar premixed flames. The reduction is based on testing the reaction and reaction-enthalpy rates of the “full” reaction mechanism using a zero-dimensional model with a flame temperature profile as a constraint. The technique is demonstrated with numerical tests performed on the mechanism of methane combustion.
