"Global" kinetic mechanisms for calculating turbulent reactive flows. III.Promotion of combustion

Extended empirical mechanisms of methane and hydrogen oxidation are suggest ed for simulating promoted combustion reactions in a name. Two promotion me chanisms are considered: (i) direct injection of promoter radicals in the c ombustible mixture and (ii) introduction in the mixture of stable species t hermal decomposition of which produces promoting species. The mechanisms pr ovide qualitatively correct prediction of the basic peculiarities of the pr omoting process in a laminar name, and being quite simple, can be recommend ed for applying them to turbulent names.
