In general, combustion is a spatially three-dimensional, highly
complex physi co-chemical process oftransient nature. Models are
therefore needed that sim to such a degree that it becomes amenable
plify a given combustion problem to theoretical or numerical
analysis but that are not so restrictive as to distort the
underlying physics or chemistry. In particular, in view of
worldwide efforts to conserve energy and to control pollutant
formation, models of combustion chemistry are needed that are
sufficiently accurate to allow confident predic tions of flame
structures. Reduced kinetic mechanisms, which are the topic of the
present book, represent such combustion-chemistry models.
Historically combustion chemistry was first described as a global
one-step reaction in which fuel and oxidizer react to form a single
product. Even when detailed mechanisms ofelementary reactions
became available, empirical one step kinetic approximations were
needed in order to make problems amenable to theoretical analysis.
This situation began to change inthe early 1970s when computing
facilities became more powerful and more widely available, thereby
facilitating numerical analysis of relatively simple combustion
problems, typi cally steady one-dimensional flames, with moderately
detailed mechanisms of elementary reactions. However, even on the
fastest and most powerful com puters available today, numerical
simulations of, say, laminar, steady, three dimensional reacting
flows with reasonably detailed and hence realistic ki netic
mechanisms of elementary reactions are not possible."
