This paper gives a review of the current state of the art for numerical simulations of char
conversion. In particular, it presents models that have been developed to describe the …

Ten established, data-driven dynamic algorithms are surveyed and a practical guide for
understanding these methods generated. Existing Python programming packages for …

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a three-dimensional turbulent mixing layer are
performed, where coal particles seeded in an air stream mix with hot lean combustion …

Fully-resolved simulations of the heating, ignition, volatile flame combustion and char
conversion of single coal particles in convective gas environments are conducted and …

The lean-oxygen combustion of incompletely pyrolyzed char dominates at the combustion
front of coalfield fires. Using non-local-density functional theory (NLDFT) and Barrette …

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is performed to characterize volatile combustion of
isolated coal particles and closely spaced particle ensembles in laminar and turbulent flow …

The heat-up, devolatilization, ignition and volatile combustion of single coal particles and
particle arrays in laminar and turbulent flow are investigated by direct numerical simulation …

The combustion characteristics of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MMSW) play a vital role in
dictating the efficiency of the incineration process. At present, few studies on combustion …

In the next few years, even though there will be a continuous growth of renewables and a
loss of the share of fossil fuel, energy production will still be strongly dependent on fossil …

Soot formed in the fuel-rich regions of coal flames is known to have a significant impact on
the radiative heat transfer characteristics of the flame. It is therefore important to account for …
