CHEMEQ - A Subroutine for Solving Stiff Ordinary Differential Equations

Abstract

A FORTRAN subroutine (CHEMEQ) which employs the Selected Asymptotic Integration Method (SAIM) for solving the stiff ordinary differential equations associated with reactive flow problems is described and documented. The SAIM algorithm identifies the stiff equations for treatment with a stiffly stable method. The remaining equations are treated with a standard classical method. The algorithm is a very low-overhead method which is particularly efficient when coupled with fluid dynamic calculations. It also gives significant reductions in computational costs for model development.
