Application of a reduced kinetic model for soot formation and burnout in three-dimensional diesel combustion computations

Radiation effects on combustion and pollutant emissions of high-pressure opposed flow methane/air diffusion flames

“…This soot kinetics model has been used in the past for methane [27], acetylene [26] and heptane [45] flames. Reasonably good agreement was obtained between the experimental data and the predictions.…”

Multi-Dimensional Modeling of Combustion and Pollutants Formation of New Technology Light Duty Diesel Engines

“…The NO formation is modeled with Zel'dovich mechanism in the form described by Bowman [14]. Finally the soot formation and oxidation mechanism is coupled with the combustion model by a reduced six steps mechanism in the form developed by Belardini et al [15].…”

“…In this model the acetylene is assumed as crucial pyrolytic specie for the nucleation and surface growth processes. Belardini et al [15] implemented a slightly modified version of this model in the standard kinetic routine of Kiva-II code simulating n-heptane and tetradecane fuels combustion. In the present paper, a further refinement of the model was obtained adding a coupled mechanism to provide the high temperature combustion not only of the injected fuel but also of the formed acetylene.…”

Development and application of the drop number size moment modelling to spray combustion simulations

“…One well-known reduced mechanism model is the ''Shell" model [2] developed in order to predict knock in spark ignition engines. It has been adopted successfully in CFD simulation for diesel engines [3][4][5][6][7] in which n-heptane is selected as a representative of diesel fuel due to comparable octane number. However, Cox and Cole [8] and Hu and Keck [9] argued that the Shell model does not adequately describe the ignition phenomena which take place at low-temperatures.…”
