Hello everyone!
I am working on CFD simulation of detonation of hydrogen and air. I am using a particular reaction mechanism for my simulation using Chemkin.
I searched for different thermodynamic data (.DAT files) in chemkin format needed to solve the reaction. I came across multiple thermodynamic (.DAT) files like GRI.dat, etc.
How to know which thermodynamic data to use for detonation? Is there any particular .dat file or thermodynamic data used for detonation?
I would appreciate the help.
A proplem which has arisen in thermochemical databases is that experimental and simulated data have been mixed, sometimes without proper declaration.
So, if you have conflicting data, you will be charged with the nasty task of tracing back how it has been determined. In case of doubt, you should rate experimental data over simulated data.
If you have conflicting experimental data, look at the original works, if available, and see if the measurement appears state of the art to you.
