Abstract
This paper describes the development of two simplified reduced kinetic models for high-temperature oxidation of propane, which can be incorporated into complex turbulent flame simulations. Equilibrium, 0D or 1D propagating premixed flames and 2D co-flowing laminar jet flames, with or without preheating, attached or lifted, are computed during the iterative optimization process. Accompanying computations with the USC-II mechanism, as well as available experimental data are exploited for validation. Comparisons demonstrate that these reduced kinetic models ensure satisfactory agreement with data over the investigated parameter space.
