A continuous multi-component fuel flame propagation and chemical kinetics model has been developed. In the multicomponent fuel model, the theory of continuous thermodynamics was used to model the properties and composition of fuels such as gasoline. The difference between the current continuous multi-component fuel model and previous similar models in the literature is that the source terms contributed by chemistry in the mean and the second moment transport equations have been considered. This new model was validated using results from a discrete multi-component fuel model. In the flame propagation and chemical kinetics model, five improved combustion sub-models were also integrated with the new continuous multi-component fuel model. To consider the change of local fuel vapor mixture composition, a “PRF adaptive” method is proposed that formulates a relationship between the fuel vapor mixture PRF number (or octane number) and the fuel vapor mixture composition based on the mean molecular weight and/or variance of the fuel vapor mixture composition in each cell. Simulations of single droplet vaporization with a single-component fuel (iso-octane) were compared with multi-component fuel cases.
