The dispersed phase in multiphase flows can be modeled by the population balance model
(PBM). A typical population balance equation (PBE) contains terms for spatial transport …

Biodiesel has become a popular alternative fuel to fossil diesel. However, compared to
conventional diesel engines, the adoption of pure biodiesel often leads to higher NOx …

Particle formation and growth by chemical reactions and physical processes has
implications spanning properties of industrial chemicals, human health, and environmental …

In this work, a discrete finite volume scheme (FVS) is developed for approximating a
multidimensional agglomeration population balance equation on an unstructured grid …

The method of moments is a simple but efficient method of solving the population balance
equation which describes particle dynamics. Recently, the moment projection method …

This work is concerned with the assessment of the various discretizations used to obtain the
numerical solutions of the bivariate aggregation population balance equation. It was …

Two C8 biofuels, n-octanol (OCT) and di-n-butylether (DnBE), have attracted much attention
due to their potential to replace diesel. In this work, compression ignition (CI) engines fueled …

In this work, an efficient numerical approach for detailed soot particle dynamics modeling in
three-dimensional engine simulation is proposed. The recently developed moment …

Parameters describing soot particle processes are generally derived from a limited number
of experimental studies. These parameters then have to be carefully calibrated for different …

A new and efficient sectional method is developed and presented in this work. This new
method, namely hybrid sectional moment projection method, seeks to combine the …
