Flamelet-Generated Manifold (FGM) is a
combustion
Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke. Combust ...

[J.A. van Oijen & L.P.H. de Goey, Modelling of Premixed Laminar Flames using Flamelet-Generated Manifolds, Combustion Science and Technology. Volume 161, Issue 1, 2000] The approach of FGM is based on the idea that the most important aspects of the internal structure of the flame front should be taken into account. In this view, a low-dimensional chemical manifold is created on the basis of one-dimensional flame structures, including nearly all of the transport and chemical phenomena as observed in three-dimensional flames. In addition, the progress of the flame is generally described by transport equations for a limited number of control variables.
