Reaction mechanisms
There are several reaction mechanisms available - all developed and optimised by our team.
Chemiluminescence (ChemLum2012)
A reaction mechanism for prediction of OH*, CH* and C2* chemiluminescent species
- Detection of non-intrusive OH*, CH* and C2* species is frequently used in the diagnostics
- A reaction model of such species enables direct comparison to their measurements in various combustion environments
- Mechanism supplied with the C1-C4 chemistry from 2012, however independent use of only chemiluminescence chemistry possible

DLR Concise
Version 1, 2021, Jet fuels (DLRConcise2021v1.JF)
A compact reaction mechanism for H/C/O neat components and fuel surrogates
- A single semi-detailed reaction mechanism enables modeling combustion chemistry of spectrum of real fuels represented through surrogate fuels
- Customized reduction possible for CFD applications
