Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

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 …

Advances in modeling soot formation and burnout in combustion systems are surveyed. The
types of models are divided up into three classes: empirical, semi-empirical and detailed …

Sooting tendencies of fuels are analyzed with respect to the type of experimental
configuration used—per-mixed flames, normal and inverse co-annular, Wolfhard-Parker and …

Molecular simulations based on reactive force-fields (ReaxFF) have been applied as a
powerful tool for exploring the dynamics evolution of complex carbonaceous materials. A …

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 …

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

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 …

The morphology and nanostructure of soot particles as a function of fuel type in a laminar
diffusion flame were studied. The fuels considered were heptane, toluene, the volumetric …

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