The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Soot particle emission from combustion processes is a significant environmental and health
problem. Optical detection is clearly the only viable choice for in situ PAH and soot …

Mitigation of soot emissions from combustion devices is a global concern. For example,
recent EURO 6 regulations for vehicles have placed stringent limits on soot emissions. In …

A novel model called Surface Shell Formation (SSF) is developed which predicts soot
maturity based on the equilibrium nanostructure of poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) …

A recently developed chemical kinetic scheme for C2 fuel combustion with PAH growth has
been implemented in a parallelized coflow flame solver. The reaction mechanism has been …

Combustion and other high-temperature processes can produce solid aerosol nanoparticles
with complex morphologies, including fractal-like aggregates of primary particles …

Soot aggregate formation and size distribution in a laminar ethylene/air coflow diffusion
flame is modeled with a PAH-based soot model and an advanced sectional aerosol …

A new model for condensation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the surface of
soot particles is developed based on the reversibility of the process. Statistical mechanics …

The optical properties of soot, in particular the propensity of soot to absorb and scatter light
as a function of wavelength, are key parameters for the correct interpretation of soot optical …

A new soot model is presented, which has been developed for CFD applications, combining
accuracy and efficiency. While the chemical reactions of small gas phase species are …
