CONVERGE features a variety of tools to perform simplified 
kinetics calculations and to manipulate and evaluate chemical 
kinetic mechanisms. These chemistry tools include zero- and 
one-dimensional calculators for estimating ignition delay and 
laminar flamespeed; table generation tools for the Flamelet 
Generated Manifold (FGM) model, Tabulated Laminar Flamespeed 
(TLF), and Tabulated Kinetics of Ignition (TKI); mechanism 
merge and reduction tool for combining and decreasing the 
size of mechanisms; a mechanism tuning tool to optimize 
reaction mechanisms; and a pathway flux analysis tool to 
visualize reaction pathways. Additionally CONVERGE Studio 
offers a surrogate blender tool for multi-component fuels. 
This workshop will discuss how to set up these tools in 
CONVERGE Studio and present strategies for effectively using 
them with CFD simulations.
*This session includes hands-on CONVERGE Studio practice.
