Reduced Chemical Kinetic Mechanisms: Simulation of Turbulent Non-Premixed CH4-Air Flame

摘要

Natural gas is the primary fuel for industrial gas turbines. Although natural gas is mostly Methane, its composition varies. The size of the detailed chemical kinetic model is too large to be used in CFD-Fluent code. The aim of this study is to reduce the number of species and reactions to get a mechanism small enough to use in Fluent. An 8-species reduced mechanism was successfully implanted into the Fluent.
