TI  - Local and global uncertainty analyses of a methane flame model.

AB  - Local and global uncertainty analyses of a flat, premixed, stationary, laminar 
      methane flame model were carried out using the Leeds methane oxidation mechanism 
      at lean (phi = 0.70), stoichiometric (phi = 1.00), and rich (phi = 1.20) 
      equivalence ratios. Uncertainties of laminar flame velocity, maximal flame 
      temperature, and maximal concentrations of radicals H, O, OH, CH, and CH(2) were 
      investigated. Global uncertainty analysis methods included the Morris method, the 
      Monte Carlo analysis with Latin hypercube sampling, and an improved version of 
      the Sobol' method. Assumed probability density functions (pdf's) were assigned to 
      the rate coefficients of all the 175 reactions and to the enthalpies of formation 
      of the 37 species. The analyses provided the following answers: approximate pdf's 
      and standard deviations of the model results, minimum and maximum values of the 
      results at any physically realistic parameter combination, and the contribution 
      of the uncertainty of each parameter to the uncertainty of the model result. The 
      uncertainty of a few rate parameters and a few enthalpies of formation causes 
      most of the uncertainty of the model results. Most uncertainty comes from the 
      inappropriate knowledge of kinetic data, but the uncertainty caused by 
      thermodynamic data is also significant.
