This chapter reports the principles that drive the computation of combustion chemistry in most CFD softwares.

=== Arrhenius law ===
 
 
<math>\mathcal{A}_j</math> is the pre-exponential factor, <math>\mathcal{\beta}_j</math> is the temperature exponent and <math>E_{a_j}</math> the activation energy
 
 
<math>
 
k_j = \mathcal{A}_j T^{\mathcal{\beta}_j} \exp \left(-\frac{E_{a_j}}{R T}\right)
 
</math>
 
 
 
=== Three-body reactions ===
 
 
In the forward direction, three-body reactions involve two species A and B as reactants and yield a single product AB. In that case, the third body M is used to stabilize the excited product AB*. On the contrary, in the reverse direction, heat provides the energy necessary to break the link between A and B.
 
 
<math>......</math>
 
 
The third body M can be any inert molecule.
 
 
 
=== Falloff reactions ===
 
 
Under specific conditions, some reaction rate expressions are dependent on pressure and temperature. This is especially true for the rate associated to unimolecular/recombination fall-off reactions which increases with pressure. In such cases, if the chemical process takes place in a high or low pressure limit

=== Reaction rates ===
 
 
The global rate of a reaction j (evolution in concentration per unit of time) varies depending on the proportion of the rates associated to the forward and backward directions.
 
 
<math>
 
\mathcal{Q}_j = \mathcal{Q}_{f,j} - \mathcal{Q}_{r,j}
 
</math>
 
 
 
=== Species production/consumption source terms ===
 
 
Species <math>Y_k</math> source terms are deduced from
 
 
<math>
 
\dot{\omega}_k = W_k \sum_{j=1}^{N_R} \nu_{k,j} \mathcal{Q}_j
