A component library framework for deriving kinetic mechanisms for multi-component fuel surrogates: Application for jet fuel surrogates

Surrogate fuels are often used in place of real fuels in computational combustion studies. However, many different choices of hydrocarbons to make up surrogate mixtures have been reported in the literature, particularly for jet fuels. To identify the best choice of surrogate components, the capabilities of different surrogate mixtures in emulating the combustion kinetic behavior of the real fuel must be examined. To allow extensive assessment of...
