Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

The study of soot has long been motivated by its adverse impacts on health and the
environment. However, this combustion knowledge is also relevant to the production of …

In this work, a new statistical model for soot formation and growth is developed and
presented. The Hybrid Method of Moments (HMOM) seeks to combine the advantages of two …

A Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of soot formation in an n-heptane/air turbulent
nonpremixed flame has been performed to investigate unsteady strain effects on soot growth …

Turbulent combustion will remain central to the next generation of combustion devices that
are likely to employ blends of renewable and fossil fuels, transitioning eventually to …

Oxygenated fuels have been widely used in combustion engines to tailor fuel properties,
improve combustion performance and reduce harmful emissions such as soot particles …

In this work, an integrated Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model is developed for sooting
turbulent nonpremixed flames and validated in a laboratory scale flame. The integrated …

The formation, growth, and transport of soot is investigated via large scale numerical
simulation in a three-dimensional turbulent non-premixed n-heptane/air jet flame at a jet …

A fully-coupled soot formation model is developed to predict the concentration, size, and
aggregate structure of soot particles in the atmospheric pressure laminar coflow diffusion …

Due to their negative impacts on environment and human health, future regulations on soot
emissions are expected to become stricter, in particular by controlling the size of the emitted …
