Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study was to develop a combustion-reaction database specialized for numerical simulations of fire/explosion phenomena. Kinetic parameters of global reaction models were first determined based on the results of experiments and 1-D detailed-reaction simulations. Numerical simulations were then conducted using the obtained global models and other reduced reaction models to compare with the results of experiments or detailed-reaction simulations. A methodology was finally discussed to select the optimal reaction model depending on the local condition.
