Two-Dimensional, Full-Elliptic Flow Model

A Ml-elliptic, two-dimensional CFD code [1-4] has been used to simulate the flow domain in a plane ehannel eonfiguration having length L, height 2b and wall thiekness 6. The full ehannel-flow reactor height was modeled in the fundamental studies of lean propane/air combustion on platinum, while in all other cases only half of the channel domain was modeled due to symmetry. 

The governing equations in Cartesian coordinates for laminar steady flows are Continuity equation

The species diffusion velocities Vk- were computed using mixture average diffusion, including thermal diffusion for the hght species H and H2 [5]  

Finally, the ideal gas and caloric state laws closed the system of equations
