Ember: An open-source, transient solver for 1D reacting flow using large kinetic models, applied to strained extinction

Simulation of quasi one-dimensional reacting flow is a standard in many combustion studies. Here Ember, a new open-source code for efficiently performing these calculations using large, detailed chemical kinetic models is presented. Ember outperforms other standard software, such as Chemkin, in computation time by leveraging rebalanced Strang operator splitting which does not suffer the steady-state inaccuracies of most splitting methods. The...
