This manual provides tutorials demonstrating how to use Reaction Workbench tools and a list of guidelines for selecting mechanism reduction methods.
Tutorial 1 provides the workflow for defining a surrogate fuel using the Surrogate Blend Optimizer (SBO).
Tutorial 2 is an example of targeted mechanism reduction to produce a mechanism with chemistry and size appropriate for engine simulations.
Tutorial 3 is an example of mechanism optimization to produce a mechanism for propane combustor simulations.
Tutorial 4 is an example of mechanism optimization for a surface kinetics mechanism.
The files for running these tutorials are provided when Ansys Chemkin Reaction Workbench is installed, and are located with the other Chemkin tutorial sample files at the selected installation location. Other Ansys documentation and tutorials are available from the Ansys Help website.
