The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

This review presents a glossary and review of terminology used to describe the chemical
and physical processes involved in soot formation and evolution and is intended to aid in …

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 …

The early stages of soot formation, namely inception and growth, are highly debated and
central to many ongoing studies in combustion research. Here, we provide new insights into …

The study of soot has long been motivated by its adverse impacts on health and the
environment. However, this combustion knowledge is also relevant to the production of …

Combustion-generated soot particles can have significant impact on climate, environment
and human health. Thus, understanding the processes governing the formation of soot …

Oxygenated fuels have been widely used in combustion engines to tailor fuel properties,
improve combustion performance and reduce harmful emissions such as soot particles …

Incipient soot early in the flame was studied by high-resolution atomic force microscopy and
scanning tunneling microscopy to resolve the atomic structure and orbital densities of single …

The development of better laser-based experimental methods and the fast rise in computer
power has created an unprecedented shift in turbulent combustion research. The range of …

Given the recent EURO 6 regulations, which include limits on particle number density (and
hence size) for soot emissions from land vehicles, soot models must be capable of …
