A New Paradigm in Modeling and Simulations of Complex Oxidation Chemistry Using a Statistical Approach

Abstract

This report describes a study performed under ARO sponsorship, addressing the investigation of a novel way to reduce complex and extensive oxidation reaction mechanisms containing hundreds of species to a much smaller number of progress variables, typically by a factor of ten. Because the results have been documented in several manuscripts, this final report is in the form of an Executive Summary succinctly describing the results and putting them in perspective with respect to existing oxidation mechanism reduction schemes. The manuscripts are individually listed as Appendices, and attached to this report.
