Creator:: Niemeyer, Kyle E. and Sung, Chih-Jen
Abstract:: Strategies and recommendations for performing skeletal reductions of multicomponent surrogate fuels are presented, through the generation and validation of skeletal mechanisms for a three-component toluene reference fuel. Using the directed relation graph with error propagation and sensitivity analysis method followed by a further unimportant reaction elimination stage, skeletal mechanisms valid...

Creator:: Brady, Kyle B., Hui, Xin, Sung, Chih-Jen, and Niemeyer, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Critical to the development of predictive combustion models is a robust understanding of the coupled effects of chemical kinetics and convective-diffusive transport at both atmospheric and elevated pressures. The present study describes a new variable-pressure non-premixed counterflow ignition experiment designed to address the need for well-characterized reference data to validate...

Creator:: Curtis, Nicholas J., Niemeyer, Kyle E., and Sung, Chih-Jen
Abstract:: Accurately predicting key combustion phenomena in reactive-flow simulations, e.g., lean blow-out, extinction/ignition limits and pollutant formation, necessitates the use of detailed chemical kinetics. The large size and high levels of numerical stiffness typically present in chemical kinetic models relevant to transportation/power-generation applications make the efficient evaluation/factorization of the chemical kinetic...
