Combustion kinetic modeling using multispecies time histories in shock-tube oxidation of heptane
David A. Sheen,Hai Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the Method of Uncertainty Analysis using Polynomial Chaos Expansions (MUM-PCE) to demonstrate how the multispecies measurement may be utilized beyond simple model validation, and show that while an as-compiled, prior reaction model of n-alkane combustion can be accurate in its prediction of the detailed species profiles, the kinetic parameter uncertainty in the model remains to be too large to obtain a precise prediction.

Mechanism optimization based on reaction rate rules
Liming Cai,Heinz Pitsch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the rate rules that determine the rates for reaction classes are calibrated instead of the rates of single elementary reactions leading to a chemically more consistent model optimization, which is demonstrated by optimizing an n-pentane combustion mechanism.
