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

Soot is responsible for notoriously detrimental effects on human health, air quality, and
global and regional climate. Controlling soot emissions to the atmosphere will require …

This paper provides an overview of a workshop focused on fundamental experimental and
theoretical aspects of soot measurements by laser-induced incandescence (LII). This …

This paper reviews the optical techniques for in-cylinder combustion temperature
measurement, particularly soot measurements in diesel engines. The review starts with the …

The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions
the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to …

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 …

Quantitative experimental measurements of soot concentrations and soot scattering are
presented for a series of steady and flickering coflowing methane, propane, and ethylene …

Soot volume fractions, number densities, and particle sizes have been extensively
measured in laboratory flames using combined extinction and scattering methods. In order …

In this work, laser induced fluorescence (LIF) has been applied to probe PAHs in two
atmospheric sooting flames: a premixed flat flame of methane and a Diesel turbulent spray …

A recently developed laser-induced incandescence technique is used to make novel planar
measurements of soot volume fraction within turbulent diffusion flames and droplet flames …
