Abstract
A computer program designed for the evaluation of molecular flows interacting through chemical kinetics and molecular diffusion is described. Measured values of temperature profile and mass flow are used. The starting profiles and the hot boundary values are calculated by a kinetics approximation found by neglecting diffusion. A time-dependent method is used together with successive grid refinements. The successive grid refinements reduced the execution times by a factor of 5 for a H 2/air flame at a pressure of 1 atm. For a CH 4/O 2 flame at 0.05 atm the reduction due to grid refinements was a factor 50 or more according to the estimations. The execution times for the test flames were a factor 4 slower than a current implementation of the steady state method. Possible optimizations of the present time-dependent version can decrease that difference significantly. The computed concentration profiles agreed with published computed results within 1 %.
