Reliable simulations of reacting flow systems require a well-characterized, detailed chemical model as a foundation. Accuracy of such a model can be assured, in principle, by systematic studies of individual rate coefficients. However, the inherent uncertainties in the rate data leave a model still characterized by a kinetic rate parameter space which will be persistently finite in its size. Without a careful analysis of how this uncertainty space propagates into the model predictions, those predictions can at best be trusted only semi-quantitatively. In this work, we propose the Method of Uncertainty Minimization using Polynomial Chaos Expansions (MUM-PCE) to quantify and constrain these uncertainties. An as-compiled, detailed H2/CO/C1–C4 kinetic model and a set of ethylene combustion data are used as an example. In this method, the uncertainty in the rate parameters of the as-compiled model is quantified. Then, the model is subjected to a rigorous mathematical analysis by constraining the rate coefficients against the combustion data, as well as a consistency-screening process. Lastly, the uncertainty of the constrained model is calculated using an inverse spectral technique, and then propagated into a range of simulation conditions to demonstrate the utilities and limitations of the method.
