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 …

In the past 25 years there has been a considerable amount of progress in studying flamelets,
their structures and their responses to various perturbations. The term “flamelet” as used …

The utilization of mathematical models to numerically describe the performance of internal
combustion engines is of great significance in the development of new and improved …

A flamelet formulation for non-premixed combustion that allows an exact description of
differential diffusion has been developed. The main difference to previous formulations is the …

The algorithm of directed relation graph recently developed for skeletal mechanism
reduction was extended to overall linear time operation, thereby greatly facilitating the …

The effect of steady strain on the transient autoignition of n-heptane at high pressures is
studied numerically with detailed chemistry and transport in a counterflow configuration …

A study was performed to elucidate the mechanisms of extinetion and autoignition of n-
heptane in strained laminar flows under non-premixed conditions. A previously developed …

A 55-species reduced mechanism for n-heptane oxidation was derived from a 188-species
skeletal mechanism, which was previously obtained from a detailed mechanism consisting …

An experimental and numerical investigation of counterflow prevaporized partially premixed
n-heptane flames is reported. The major objective is to provide well-resolved experimental …

Computational singular perturbation (CSP) analysis has been used to gain understanding of
the complex kinetic behavior associated with two-stage ignition of large hydrocarbon …
