The mechanism IC8_LLNL_red.mech is a reduced version of the detailed mechanism 
for iso-octane oxidation by Curran et al. (Combust. Flame, 129:2253-280, 2002).
It has been validated over a wide range of conditions, including homogeneous 
reactors (PFR and auto-ignition) and laminar burning velocities.

The instructions to pre-process the mechanism file for FlameMaster
can be found below. Please report any problem to pepiot@stanfordalumni.org.


Without quasi-steady state species:
-----------------------------------
Execute:
	CreateBinFile -i IC8_LLNL_red.thermo -m IC8_LLNL_red.trans -o IC8_LLNL_red.thermo.bin
	ScanMan -i IC8_LLNL_red.mech -t IC8_LLNL_red.thermo.bin -S

Then use IC8_LLNL_red.pre as mechanism file in FlameMaster computations


With quasi-steady state species:
--------------------------------
Execute:
	CreateBinFile -i IC8_LLNL_red.thermo -m IC8_LLNL_red.trans -o IC8_LLNL_red.thermo.bin
	ScanMan -i IC8_LLNL_red.mech -t IC8_LLNL_red.thermo.bin -S -R dummy

Copy the files SteadyStates.C and IC8_LLNL_red.h into ~/FlameMaster/FlameManSource directory

Compile the FlameMaster source code:
	make -C ~/FlameMaster/FlameManSource

Then use IC8_LLNL_red.pre as mechanism file in FlameMaster computations
