(V5) and LES (V5) Pollutant models: NOx with reburn chemistry (V5) and soot Modeling Chemical Kinetics in Combustion Challenging Most practical combustion processes are turbulent Rate expressions are highly nonlinear; turbulence-chemistry interactions are important Realistic chemical mechanisms have tens of species, hundreds of reactions and stiff kinetics (widely disparate time scales) Practical approaches Reduced chemical mechanisms Finite rate combustion model Decouple reaction chemistry from turbulent flow and mixing Mixture fraction approaches Equilibrium chemistry PDF model Laminar flamelet Progress variable Zimont model Generalized Finite Rate Model Chemical reaction process described using global mechanism. Transport equations for species are solved. These equations predict local time-averaged mass fraction, mj , of each species. Source term (production or consumption) for species j is net reaction rate over all k reactions in mechanism: Rjk (rate of production/consumption of spec
