What is Implementation of the population balance equation in CFD codes for modelling soot formation in turbulent flames about?

The simulation of soot formation in turbulent diffusion flames is carried out within a CFD code, by coupling kinetics and fluid dynamics computations with the solution of the population balance equation via the Direct Quadrature Method of Moments, a novel and efficient approach based on a quadrature approximation of the size distribution of soot particles. A turbulent non-premixed ethylene-air flame is used as the test case for validation of the model. Simplified kinetic expressions are employed for modelling nucleation, molecular growth and oxidation of particles, along with a Brownian aggregation kernel. A recently proposed approach for modelling the evolution of fractal dimension is used with a monovariate population balance to predict the morphological properties of aggregates.
