Validation of detailed chemical kinetics mechanisms for reproduction of ignition delay times of C 2 – C 5 alkenes

The goal of the paper is to assess a performance of 15 detailed chemical kinetics mechanisms for combustion of C2–C5 alkenes based on ignition delay times. The paper provides an indication which mechanism ought to be used and under what conditions. Mechanisms being assessed are: Aramco 2.0 [1], Blanquart 2009 [2], Davis Law Wang C3 [3], GRI-mech 3.0 [4], Konnov 0.5 [5], JetSurF 2.0 [6], NUIG Butane [1], NUIG Pentane Isomers [1], NUIG n-Hexane [1], NUIG n-Heptane [1], Polimi C1C3 LT HT Version 1412 [7], Polimi C1C3 HT NOx Version 1412 [7], Polimi PRF PAH LT Version 1412 [7], San Diego 2014 [8], Wang High T [9].
