Numerical simulation of CO 2 addition effects to fuel and oxidizer streams on flame structure has been conducted with detailed chemistry in H 2 –O 2 diffusion flames of a counterflow configuration. An artificial species, which displaces added CO 2 in the fuel‐ and oxidizer‐sides and has the same thermochemical, transport, and radiation properties to that of added CO 2 , is introduced to extract pure chemical effects in flame structure. Chemical effects due to thermal dissociation of added CO 2 causes the reduction flame temperature in addition to some thermal effects. The reason why flame temperature due to chemical effects is larger in cases of CO 2 addition to oxidizer stream is well explained though a defined characteristic strain rate. The produced CO is responsible for the reaction, CO 2 +H=CO+OH and takes its origin from chemical effects due to thermal dissociation. It is also found that the behavior of produced CO mole fraction is closely related to added CO 2 mole fraction, maximum H mole fraction and its position, and maximum flame temperature and its position.
