ASPECTS OF MODELING SOOT FORMATION IN TURBULENT DIFFUSION FLAMES

摘要

Soot formation in a turbulent jet diffusion flame is modeled using an unsteady flamelet approach. In the present work, we study the effects of the choice of the dependence of scalar dissipation rate on mixture fraction and agglomeration processes on the predicted soot volume fraction. It is found that good predictions of soot volume fraction can be obtained without considering preferential diffusion effects.
