REI has considerable experience in chemical kinetic
modeling of aviation fuel combustion and in the development
of reduced mechanisms for aviation
fuels for use in CFD simulations.

Practical
aviation fuels, such as Jet-A and JP-8 are a complex mixture of
thousands of hydrocarbon components that are manufactured to meet
certain property standards. The exact composition varies in time
and place depending on crude feedstocks and refinery processes.
Modeling aviation fuel combustion requires selection of a surrogate
fuel blend containing a few species with known kinetics that reproduces
the essential combustion behavior of a typical batch of the actual
fuel.
The kinetic models are able to predict the formation
of NOx as well as soot precursors.
