CHEM1D
CHEM1D is a specialized computer program to simulate one-dimensional laminar flames. Both steady and timedependent flames can be computed in several different configurations, e.g. freely-propagating flames, burnerstabilized flames, (premixed/non-premixed) counterflow flames or flames stabilized against a solid wall. The CHEM1D package includes state-of-the-art models for radiation, thermodynamics, transport and chemistry in multi-component gas mixtures. The code is updated regularly with new models and methods.
CHEM1D is often used to determine the burning velocity and flammability limits for different gas mixtures. Furthermore, it has for instance been used to investigate the acoustic response of burnerstabilzed flames and the flash-back behavior of flames stabilized on ceramic-foam surface burners. Moreover, CHEM1D can predict the formation of polutants like NO and soot.

CHEMR
CHEMR is a computer program to construct reduced reaction mechanisms for combustion simulations. Using these mechanisms the computation time of combustion simulations can be reduced enormously without loosing too much accuracy. The code is automated to a high degree: only the detailed reaction scheme and the number of degrees of freedom have to be provided by the user. Currently, CHEMR is designed for the generation of intrinsic low-dimensional manifold (ILDM) tables, but it will be extended to new methods like Flamelet-Generated Manifolds and Phase-Space ILDM. The code can be used to construct multi-dimensional manifolds for any detailed reaction mechanism. CHEMR produces a library, which can be linked to a standard CFD code by using user-defined subroutines.

FluidProp - Thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids and mixtures
Info: FluidProp is a standard interface to several software libraries for the calculation of thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids. GasMix implements the ideal gas model for fluids and mixtures. StanMix implements a model based on a cubic equation of state and modern mixing rules that can describe a huge variety of fluids and mixtures with few parameters. TPSI implements accurate thermodynamic models for few fluids as described in the book by Prof. Reynolds, 'Thermodynamic properties in S.I.', Mech. Eng. Dept., Stanford University, CA 94305, 1979. FluidProp is also an interface to Refprop, the notorious program developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (license must be purchased from NIST). Together with the usual properties FluidProp also calculates partial derivatives that are usually needed in CFD codes or in process modeling software. FluidProp is implemented as a COM server for the Windows operating system. Examples for Microsoft Excel, Mathworks Matlab/Simulink, Microsoft Visual Basic, Compaq Visual Fortran, Microsoft Visual C++, Borland C++ are provided in the package.

zFlow - A CFD simulation tool including complex Equations of State for pure fluids and mixtures
zFlow is a CFD solver which uses an hybrid between the Finite Element (FE) and Finite Volume (FV) methods for the spatial discretization of systems of nonlinear conservation laws. The implemented numerical scheme is a high resolution upwind formulation for unstructured grids and general equations of state. The boundary treatment in the case of general gases is also implemented. Thermodynamic properties are obtained from FluidProp (see above). zFlow is still under development but already used in several research projects. If interested in using it, please use the provided contact information.
