1 | A comprehensive parametric investigation of efficient soot modeling using high fidelity method of moments | PSD; PAH; nucleation; Soot; Radiation; Method of moment | Soot is one of the most regulated pollutants in all the combustion applications like automotive engines, aviation engines, and industrial furnaces. Modeling soot formation is quite challenging due to the complex processes involved in the formation of the soot particulates. Empirical formulation base... | ||
2 | A fully integrated Kinetic Monte Carlo/Molecular Dynamics approach for the simulation of soot precursor growth | 2002 | Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon polymerization; Soot; KMC/MD; Kinetic Monte Carlo/Molecular Dynamics; Particle growth; Atomic-scale structure; Molecular Transformations; KMC; MD; Simulation; Kinetic mechanism | The emphasis in this paper is on presenting a new methodology, together with some illustrative applications, for the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon polymerization leading to soot, widely recognized as a very important and challenging combustion problem. The new code, named fully integrated... | |
