Modeling thermal radiation in combustion environments can be extremely challenging for
two main reasons. First, the radiative transfer equation (RTE), which is the cornerstone of …

Ultrafine and highly light absorbing soot particles have been known to be harmful to human
health and a major climate forcer. Understanding the mechanisms of soot formation and …

A numerical study is conducted using the CoFlame code to investigate the sooting
characteristics of ethylene-fueled laminar coflow inverse diffusion flames (IDFs), aiming to …

Radiative heat transfer (RHT) is often the dominant mode of heat transfer in flames, fires,
and combustion systems and affects significantly temperature distributions directly and …

Both the full-spectrum k-distribution (FSK) method and the spectral line weighted-sum-of-
gray-gases (SLW) method are global spectral methods, with the former based on a spectral …

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of the Oxygen Index (OI) in
an ethylene laminar inverse diffusion flame (IDF). The OI was varied from 21% to 37% and …

This paper presents a study of the effect of soot on the radiative heat transfer in a turbulent,
non-premixed methane–air flame inside a combustion chamber. In this problem, an …

This paper investigates the impact of cyclic fuels on the nanostructure, nucleation and
overall production of soot in an n-heptane (C 7 H 16) laminar coflow diffusion flame. The …

Radiative heat modeling has a central role for the simulation of soot formation in flames.
Radiation heat transfer, gas-phase chemistry and soot formation are strongly coupled and …

A numerical study of a laminar methane partial oxidation flame (POX-flame) is presented to
investigate different radiation modeling approaches. A laminar reference flame for large …
