                         is still a challenge in numerical combustion due to the large 
                         number of species and the stiffness of the system of governing 
                         equations. In this sense, strategies to reduce the size of the 
                         detailed model are necessary and one of such models is the 
                         well-known directed relation graph (DRG) method. In the present 
                         work, a DRG-derived skeletal mechanism developed using only one 
                         application for methane/air simulations is presented and validated 
                         for auto-ignition times, laminar flame speed and counterflow 
                         flames. The skeletal mechanism is tested for varying the 
                         equivalence ratio (\φ = 0.4, to 3) and pressure (p = 1 to 
                         150 atm). The temperature spans the range from T = 1000 K to T = 
                         2000 K. The relative error, compared with the detailed mechanism, 
                         of our proposed model for ignition delay times and flame speed are 
                         less than 10% for most of the parameters. The skeletal mechanism 
                         is also used to simulate the piloted turbulent jet Sandia Flame D. 
                         Results show that this skeletal mechanism can reproduce the main 
                         features of laminar and turbulent methane/air flames.",
