Modern Computational Fluid Dynamics codes have increasing capabilities for taking into account detailed chemical kinetics [1, 2]. This opens the possibility of simulating the combustion of real fuels in industrial devices. This will bring combustion technology in line with modern developments in cutting edge science. One could not design VLSI circuits without simulations. Similarly, the design of modern airplanes depends on simulations before final wind tunnel testing. A key to the proper simulation of the chemistry in combustion is the kinetics database. The aim of this paper is to describe the current situation in this area. We will begin by discussing the special problems posed by the nature of the fuel. We will then define the elements in a proper chemical kinetic database. Currently used databases for the simulation of combustion will be critically examined. The importance of a more fundamentally based database will be emphasized. Finally some recent work pertaining to the chemical kinetics of real liquid fuel molecules will be described.

A model for Premixed Ammonium Perchlorate (AP)/Hydroxyl-terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) combustion based on detailed chemical kinetics was established on two-dimensional cylindrical coordinates using the Vorticity-Velocity formulation, finite difference methods and several essential mathematical algorithms. This model includes both solid and condensed phase combustion mechanisms and the detailed chemical kinetics of the gas phase with 37 species and 127 reactions. Results obtained from the model, such as temperature and burning rate, match data from experiments. It is found that the model established in the current study is reliable and accurate, and the Vorticity-Velocity approach combined with finite difference methods is capable of and efficient in dealing with premixed AP/HTPB combustion.

Recently, we developed a numerical approach for the simulation of detonation waves on fully unstructured grids and applied it to the numerical study of the mechanisms of detonation initiation in multifocusing systems. Current work is devoted to further development of our numerical approach, namely, parallelization of the numerical scheme and introduction of more comprehensive detailed chemical kinetics scheme.
