CollectionOfMechanisms

This repo is a collection of combustion reaction mechanisms. This repo also tries to include a converted Cantera YAML format mechanism to allow Cantera users to avoid the effort of repeatedly converting mechanisms.

Below is the proposed data organization structure.

Fuel Name
|
│   README.md: list of reaction mechanisms and brief introduction
│
└───Mechanism abbr. (e.g., GRI30 for methane)
│   │   chem.inp (chemkin format)
│   │   /thermo.dat
│   │   /tran.dat
│   │   /chem.yaml (cantera format)
│   │   /README.md: link to the original paper/website and any relevant comments (e.g. on mechanism conversion)
