E.1. Reduced Mechanisms for Diesel Engine Applications

Four chemistry sets are included for compression-ignition engine applications. One of the mechanisms can also be used for natural gas /diesel dual-fuel engines. The following flowchart summarizes the applicability of the mechanisms. Note that Ansys MFL mechanisms are not part of Ansys Forte and need to be installed separately.
