This review presents a glossary and review of terminology used to describe the chemical
and physical processes involved in soot formation and evolution and is intended to aid in …

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 …

Methanol has been considered as a promising alternative fuel for combustion engines.
However, it is quite challenging to use it directly in compressed ignition engines because of …

An n-dodecane spray flame (Spray A from Engine Combustion Network) was simulated
using a δ function combustion model along with a dynamic structure large eddy simulation …

The transient and quasi-steady flame structure of reacting fuel sprays produced by single-
hole injectors has been studied using chemiluminescence imaging and Planar Laser …

This work presents the development of an optical setup for quantitative, high-temporal
resolution line-of-sight extinction imaging in harsh optical environments. The application …

Ducted fuel injection is a strategy that can be used to enhance the fuel/charge-gas mixing
within the combustion chamber of a direct-injection compression-ignition engine. The …

We used time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (LII) to compare optical and physical
properties of soot at the edge and in the center of two co-flow diffusion flames in common …

In a collaborative effort to identify key aspects of heavy-duty diesel injector behavior, the
Engine Combustion Network (ECN) Spray C and Spray D injectors were characterized in …
