Two critical steps towards soot production in combustors are the decomposition of the fuel
and the subsequent formation of aromatic hydrocarbons with one to three benzenoid rings …

Flame extinction represents one of the classical phenomena in combustion science. It is
important to a variety of combustion systems in transportation and power generation …

A detailed reaction mechanism for n-butanol, consisting of 263 species and 3381 reactions,
has been generated using the open-source software package, Reaction Mechanism …

In this work a new computational framework for the modeling of multi-dimensional laminar
flames with detailed gas-phase kinetic mechanisms is presented. The proposed approach is …

Sooting tendencies have been determined for aromatic hydrocarbons using a new
definition: the maximum soot volume fraction fv, max measured in a coflow methane/air …

In this work, we applied and analyzed a new computational code, called laminarSMOKE, for
the numerical simulation of laminar flames in complex, multidimensional geometries with …

Three aspects of turbulent combustion modelling are discussed to provide an overview of
numerical simulation of turbulent flames. The three examples reported concern direct …

Direct numerical simulations of weakly turbulent-lifted flame bases are examined in the case
of both gaseous and spray fuel jet injection. Simplified transport properties and an …

Society is shifting towards the utilization of biomass fuels, so the mechanisms that produce
toxic byproducts and molecular soot precursors from oxygenated hydrocarbons are of great …

Soot surface oxidation was studied experimentally in laminar hydrocarbon/air diffusion
flames at atmospheric pressure. Measurements were carried out along the axes of round …
