Objectives
The Stochastic_GRI12 test case describes a reduction of the GRI1.2 scheme for a 1D premixed flame. Starting with 32 species and 177 reactions, we reduce to 14 species and 26 reactions.
Key parameters
The target species considered for this test case are O2, CO and CO2. The characteristics of the premixed flame are displayed below (part of the input_file.ini) :
//------Flame parameters------// //Flame 0 Tf = 300 To = 300 Pressure = 1E+05 Equivalence_ratio = 0.75 Xf = CH4:1.0 Xo = O2:0.21, N2:0.79 // the composition can also be added with mass fractions, for that replace "Xf" by "Yf" and "Xo" by "Yo" Initial_flame = flames/flame__Phi_0_75__P_100000__T_300.cantera Final_flame = flames/flame //End
Results

From a detailed 32 species scheme, we obtain reduced schemes (31 to 14 species). and we choose the one with 14 species for the next step because the shape of the velocity and species are conserved (and Cantera is unable to converge the 13-species scheme. The code will therefore end with an error message. But it is fine). The following Figure 1 is available in the directory outputs/Premixed/ with the file format of EPS.
Fig1 : Comparison between the reference trajectories of the target species, the temperature and the flame speed (in black), and the trajectories computed with the reduced mechanism with 14 transported species and 42 reactions, after a DRGEP species reduction (in red).
From the reduced scheme with 14 species, we then perform the next DRGEP Reactions step by manually change the value of the "step" keyword in the "input_file.ini" as step = DRGEP_Reactions. Make sure the reference mechanism and trajectory are correctly set up (i.e., mech_ref = mechanisms/gri12.xml; trajectory_ref = Ref_DRGEP_Species32). The DRGEP Reactions step displays the associated 42 reactions (forward, reverse and global) with their rank :

After this step, by comparing the reference trajectories with the new ones, we choose to delete 16 reactions because after 17 reactions removed, the CO2 profile loose its initial shape.
The next step is performed with 14 species and 26 reactions.

QSS step
The computeQSSCriteria step provides the QSS criteria of each species and the different links with the others species :

Interactions with species CH3O with QSS Criteria 0.0360026 H:1 O:1 OH:1
Interactions with species N2 with QSS Criteria 0 H:1 HO2:1
We choose to put the species CH3O and HCO in QSS hypothesis due to their low QSS coefficient. The species HO2 could have been a good candidate too but it is linked to himself (non linearity).
In order to obtain the trajectories of the 14-species 26-reaction reduced scheme with these 2 species in QSS hypothesis, we run the getQSSfile step and we obtain the following graphs.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.
We can note that the main target profiles are not impacted by the QSS hypothesis, nevertheless the fitness seems better. This is due to errors compensations by the other species not shown here (remind that the fitness is calculated for all species, velocity and temperature, the target just have a larger impact coefficient on the fitness).

Optimisation
The final step of the ORCh method, the genetic algorithm, enables to recover the trajectories of the target species. Firstly, 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 (i.e., AllowedVariation_A = 0.10; AllowedVariation_b = 0.10; AllowedVariation_E = 0.06).
A population of 40 elements was used during 50 generations. The optimisation step supports running in parallel. For example, we can use 20 processors via mpirun -np 20 mainprogram. Just make sure that PopSize divided by the number of processes is an integer. This step may take a long time, like several hours, depending on how many processors are used. The optimised scheme is in analytic_schemes/Ref/ while the corresponding EPS figures can be found in analytic_schemes/PLOTS/.
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 26 reactions.
