- Abstract
Development of a new reduced chemical kinetic reaction mechanism for kerosene-air combustion is presented. The new mechanism uses a modular based development technique and is a further development on previously presented kerosene-air mechanisms. The new mechanism consists of 30 species and 77 irreversible reactions and is developed to accurate reproduce key flame parameters yet being small enough to be used in finite rate Large Eddy Simulations (LES), Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) and in Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations. The well-proven development technique uses a refined fuel breakdown oxidation sub-mechanism, a simplified C2 intermediate species sub-mechanism and a more detailed set of reactions for... (More)
Development of a new reduced chemical kinetic reaction mechanism for kerosene-air combustion is presented. The new mechanism uses a modular based development technique and is a further development on previously presented kerosene-air mechanisms. The new mechanism consists of 30 species and 77 irreversible reactions and is developed to accurate reproduce key flame parameters yet being small enough to be used in finite rate Large Eddy Simulations (LES), Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) and in Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations. The well-proven development technique uses a refined fuel breakdown oxidation sub-mechanism, a simplified C2 intermediate species sub-mechanism and a more detailed set of reactions for the H/C1/O chemistry. The mechanism has been modified to be able to predict ignition delay times for a wide range of temperatures, including in the negative temperature regime. The mechanism has been evaluated for combustion parameters related to flame propagation and ignition over a wide range of equivalence ratios, initial gas temperatures and pressures. Agreements to experimental data and a set of detailed and skeletal mechanisms are good for all target parameters. The proposed mechanism shows good agreement at a computational cost far below all tested reference mechanisms, making it highly suitable for use in combustion computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations.
