Chapter 2: Overview of the MFL Mechanisms

The Model Fuel Library (MFL) includes “full” mechanisms that contain comprehensive details of the fuel combustion chemistry for the fuel components. These typically need to be reduced before applying to engine CFD simulations. In addition, several pre-reduced mechanisms for common fuel types are included that allow direct use in CFD. The pre-reduced mechanisms may be further reduced for narrower ranges of conditions or simulation targets, if desired.
