  3. Can I use A Chemkin mechanism to read in my Eddy Dissipation reactions rather than entering them by hand? This seems not to be supported. I can read in the mechanism, but when I switch to Eddy Dissipation, the A and B coefficients are greyed out and zeroed.

      This behavior is due a defect in the Fluent GUI. (Will be fixed at V 19.3). Once you import the Chemkin mechanism, edit the Mixture material and visit the Reactions panel once (without changing anything) and click the OK button. After this, you can switch to Eddy-dissipation or Finite-Rate/Eddy-Dissipation model as usual
