The conditions for application of the directed relation graph (DRG) method in skeletal
reduction of mechanisms with vastly different time scales were systematically analyzed. It …

We introduce a novel statistical calibration framework for physical models, relying on
probabilistic embedding of model discrepancy error within the model. For clarity of …

A general strategy for analysis and reduction of uncertain chemical kinetic models is
presented, and its utility is illustrated in the context of ignition of hydrocarbon fuel–air …

The use of large chemical mechanisms in flame simulations is computationally expensive
due to the large number of chemical species and the wide range of chemical time scales …

We study the structure of a methane–air edge flame stabilized against an incoming mixing
layer. The flame is computed using detailed chemical kinetics, and the analysis is based on …

A set of simplified chemical kinetics mechanisms for hybrid rocket applications using
gaseous oxygen (GOX) and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is proposed. The …

Cost and efficiency drive the design of combustion devices to rely more and more on
numerical simulations. As the methods for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) progress …

The Computational Singular Perturbation (CSP) method, developed by Lam and Goussis
[Twenty-Second Symposium (International) on Combustion, The Combustion Institute …

To be of practical use, chemical kinetic mechanisms need to provide a high-fidelity
description of the combustion of fuel components and their mixtures, while simultaneously …

Increases in both chemical kinetics knowledge and the capacity of computers have led to the
availability of very large detailed kinetic mechanisms for many problems. These …
