1. New Features and Enhancements

Chemkin

  • A new Chemkin reactor model, Markstein Calculator, has been added. This model can be used to calculate the Markstein Length, a response of premixed laminar flame to imposed stretch rate.

  • Robustness improvements for flame reactor models have been implemented, which allows for computations over a very wide range of strain-rates.

  • Licensing updates have been implemented for optimal usage with parameter studies. This update takes advantage of four free license features when running parameter studies.

  • New Workflow for Batch ("off-line") Parameter Study runs that consumes Ansys licenses efficiently and enables running batches on a cluster or on several machines. See Running and Post-processing from Batch Scripts in the Chemkin Advanced Analysis Guide for details.

  • Chemkin-CFD is available on ARM architecture. More details are available on request.

  • Added capability of co-simulation of Chemkin Multi-zone HCCI Engine model with GT-SUITE.
