Progress in combustion science and engineering has led to the generation of large amounts
of data from large-scale simulations, high-resolution experiments, and sensors. This corpus …

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

Ammonia and blends of ammonia with methane are gaining increased interest as fuels for
gas turbine applications and hence optimized reduced reaction mechanisms for the fuels …

This paper discusses a brief history of chemical kinetic modeling, with some emphasis on
the development of chemical kinetic mechanisms describing fuel oxidation. At high …

The kinetic modeling of the pyrolysis and combustion of liquid transportation fuels is a very
complex task for two different reasons: the challenging characterization of the complex …

OpenSMOKE++ is a general framework for numerical simulations of reacting systems with
detailed kinetic mechanisms, including thousands of chemical species and reactions. The …

There is an increasing demand for kinetic models of surrogate components to predict the
combustion and emissions of real fuels. In this paper, a new surrogate fuel mechanism …
