FFCM1_Red citation

[RSuryaNarayan]

Hello

Is there a citation for the mechanism in Mechanisms/FFCM1_Red ? The actual FFCM1 looks to be larger than the one here..

@esclapez do you know where this reduction comes from? This is the initial commit for the mechanism: 62b0a8b

Hey guys, I just sent an email to Surya. While I submitted the original commit, I can't remember where this mechanism comes from. My guess is that it was somehow a part of Fuego and I simply reorganized/renamed the files.
I thought that the mechanism was the FFCM1-21 skeletal reduced mechanism cited in this paper , developed by Tianfeng Lu based on the original detailed FFCM version 1 mechanism . But after comparing the mechanisms, it turns out that they do not match. So I am at a loss. I will research a bit more, maybe @drummerdoc would be able to enlighten us ?

[drummerdoc]

I had no enlightenment to share, so I reached out to Hai directly. I will upload a newer reduced mech that he supports, and will likely remove the mystery one.

[baperry2]

Thanks. I support removing anything mysterious. It's part of #460 to track down the sourcing for all mechanisms shipped with PelePhysics and add appropriate citations to the documentation, and potentially remove some if no longer needed, but I have no concrete plans on when that will happen.

[EnnaDelfen]

This all sounds reasonable. Hai's version is probably just as compact so perhaps best to switch to it if it's not too late, Surya ...

@EnnaDelfen @drummerdoc Thanks a lot for the information. I will try the FFCM1-21 mechanism to see if it behaves similar to FFCM1_Red inside Pele and keep you posted! If it works, as @baperry2 mentioned, we can remove the old one.
