Premixed flame models#

The Premixed Flame model is a 1-D steady-state application, and it contains two sub-models: “flame speed calculator” (or the freely propagating flame model) and “flat flame” model. The flame speed calculator is commonly used to calculate the laminar flame speed of a premixed fuel-oxidizer mixture. The predicted/computed flame speeds can be used to validate a combustion mechanism or can serve as a prre-processor to construct a “flame speed table” or a “combustion progress table” for other applications. The flat flame burner-stablized model is primarily used to study the flame chemistry in conjunction with the flat flame experiments.

The examples show different ways to perform the “premixed flame” calculations.
