It wasn't a mechanism.

But his mechanism—the legendary, exhaustively validated chemical kinetic model for iso-octane combustion—was very much alive. Every PhD student simulating engine knock or trying to suppress soot in a jet fuel surrogate had begged, borrowed, or hacked together pieces of it. The full mechanism, however, was a ghost. It existed on a long-decommissioned FTP server at NUI Galway, mentioned only in footnotes of papers from 2002. Rumors said it had 1,234 species and nearly 6,000 reactions, tuned so precisely that it could predict flame speed within 0.3% error. curran iso-octane mechanism download
