After this step, by comparing the reference trajectories with the new ones, we choose to delete 13 reactions, so the next step is performed with 14 species and 28 reactions. Indeed, with 27 and less species, the final state of the trajectories is not well predicted and difficult to represent even with the optimisation step.

Objectives

The Stochastic_GRI12 test case describes a reduction of the GRI1.2 scheme for a 0D 2-inlet configuration. Starting with 32 species and 177 reactions, we reduce to 12 transported species, 2 species in quasi steady state assumption and 28 reactions.

Key parameters

The target species considered for this test case are O2, CO and CO2. We are at atmospheric pressure, and the fuel is injected in its gaseous form (no evaporation model). The inputs of the 3 inlets (oxidiser, fuel and burned gases) are displayed below (from the input_file.ini): 


//------Inlets------//
new Inlet 0 : Air
 T = 700
 Pressure = 1E+05
 MassFlowRate = 0.500
 Xk = O2:0.21, N2:0.79  
 // the composition can also be added with molar fractions, for that replace "Yk" by "Xk"   
 EvaporationModel = false
 DropletDiameter = 0.0
 EvaporationTime = 0.0
 liquidDensity = 0.0
 EvaporationLatentHeat = 0.0
//EndInlet



new Inlet 1 : Fuel
 T = 450
 Pressure = 1E+05
 MassFlowRate = 0.017
 Xk = CH4:1.0  
 // the composition can also be added with molar fractions, for that replace "Yk" by "Xk"   
 EvaporationModel = 0
 DropletDiameter = 0.0
 EvaporationTime = 0.0
 liquidDensity = 0.0
 EvaporationLatentHeat = 0.0
//EndInlet

 MassFlowRate = 0.2
 Xk = N2:0.76308, O2:0.093573, H2O:0.072355, CO2:0.070468 
 // the composition can also be added with molar fractions, for that replace "Yk" by "Xk"

From a detailed 32 species scheme, we obtain reduced schemes (31 to 11 species). and we choose the one with 14 species for the next step. With 13 species and less, the trajectories of the targets and the temperature are too different from the detailed ones to be easily optimised.

From the reduced scheme with 14 species, the DRGEP reaction step displays the associated 42 reactions (forward, reverse and global) with their rank. The global reactions are displayed below :

After this step, by comparing the reference trajectories with the new ones, we choose to delete 13 reactions, so the next step is performed with 14 species and 28 reactions. Indeed, with 27 and less species, the final state of the trajectories is not well predicted and difficult to represent even with the optimisation step.

We choose to put the species CH3O and HCO in QSS hypothesis due to their low QSS coefficient.

In order to obtain the trajectories of the 12-transported species 28-reactions reduced scheme, we run the getQSSfile step and we observe that the final state and the shape of the trajectories are conserved. It is under these conditions that the optimisation step will be efficient.

Optimisation Step

The final step of the ORCh method, the genetic algorithm, enables to recover the trajectories of the target species. We allowed a 10 % variation on the pre exponential factor, the temperature exposant and 6 % on the energy activation in order to find their optimal values.

A population of 40 elements was used during 40 generations.


The following trajectories of the temperature, the flame speed and the target species match perfectly the ones of the reference detailed scheme with only 12 transported species and 28 reactions.
