Figure 2.2: Decision flowchart for selecting MFL hydrogen mechanism

Two chemistry sets for hydrogen fuel (mechanism name: h2) have been included:

The focus of both the chemistry sets is on modeling combustion. They can be used to simulate characteristics such as autoignition, flames, and NO_x emissions. The chemistry sets include full detailed kinetics and are applicable over a broad range of conditions. They also include the 3rd-body effects of argon and helium.

This hydrogen chemistry set forms the core of the other full MFL mechanisms. It has been thoroughly validated against fundamental experimental data for the operating conditions of interest for gas turbines.
