Heavy-Alkane Oxidation Kinetic-Mechanism Reduction

摘要

Oxidation chemical reactions of many practical fuels encompass thousands of species. When simulating complex turbulent reactive flows, it is impossible to account for the time and spatial evolution of all these species given current and foreseeable-future computer memory and time. This innovation reduces the number of necessary species to be tracked to only a few species, while still retaining faithfulness of the time and spatial evolution of the temperature and of the tracked species. The time evolution is currently the main focus.
