AB - The adaptation of auto-ignition tabulation for effective use of complex  chemical mechanisms will be presented in this paper. Taking cool flame  ignition phenomenon into account could improve numerical simulations of  combustion in compression ignition engines. Current approaches of successful  simulation of this phenomenon are based on the extraction of ignition delay  times, heat releases and also reaction rates from tabulated data dependant on  four parameters: temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio and exhaust gasses  mass fraction. The methods described here were used to create lookup tables  including cool flame using a comprehensive chemical mechanism without  including reaction rates data (as used by other authors). The method proved  to be stable for creating tables and these results will be shown, as well as  initial implementation results using the tables in computational fluid  dynamics software.
