Abstract
A reduced model technique based on a reduced number of numerical simulations at a subset of operating conditions for a perfectly stirred reactor is developed in order to increase the rate of convergence of a genetic algorithm (GA) used for determining new reaction rate parameters of chemical kinetics mechanisms. The genetic algorithm employed uses perfectly stirred reactor, laminar premixed flame and ignition delay time data in the inversion process in order to produce efficient reaction mechanisms that are valid for a wide range of combustion processes and various operating conditions.
