Abstract:

     This project addresses the need for improved analytical tools
for predicting soot formation and behavior in combustion processes
by developing an innovative software package. The software will
model the processes of soot nucleation, surface growth,
coagulation, oxidation, and radiation based on a poly-disperse
aerosol model. The soot model will take the form of a separate
software module linkable to existing combustion and computational
fluid dynamics codes.

Potential Commercial Application:

Potential Commercial Applications:  The software will be
applicable for simulating combustion processes and exhaust
emissions. The soot software module could be coupled to many
different combustion and computational fluid dynamics codes, both
public-domain and commercial.
