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 …

This paper presents a literature review on the mechanisms and models of coalescence of
fluid particles. For the mechanisms, five categories are summarized, namely, turbulence …

The implementation of a population balance equation (PBE) in computational fluid dynamics
(CFD) represents a crucial element in the simulation of multiphase flows. Some of the …

The synthesis of nanomaterials, with characteristic dimensions of 1 to 100 nm, is a key
component of nanotechnology. Vapor-phase synthesis of nanomaterials has numerous …

Gas-particle and other dispersed-phase flows can be described by a kinetic equation
containing terms for spatial transport, acceleration, and particle processes (such as …

Dilute gas-particle flows can be described by a kinetic equation containing terms for spatial
transport, gravity, fluid drag, and particle–particle collisions. However, the direct numerical …

The accurate description and robust simulation, at relatively low cost, of global quantities (eg
number density or volume fraction) as well as the size distribution of a population of fine …

This review article discusses the solution of population balance equations, for the simulation
of disperse multiphase systems, tightly coupled with computational fluid dynamics. Although …

The generation of nanostructured particles in high-temperature flames is important both for
the control of emissions from combustion devices and for the synthesis of high-value …

The intent of the current work is to present and further validate a new tri-variate model for the
formation of soot particles, to apply this model in analyzing the effects of temperature on the …
