Frenklach, M. Reaction mechanism of soot formation in flames.
Naphthalene ignition in SCW flames was accompanied by soot formation.
These are the soot formation-oxidation flame and the soot formation flame.
"Soot Formation in Laminar Flames," Plenary Lecture, Computational Heat Transfer Meeting, CHT-04, M. S. Midnatsol, Norway 2004.
Due to the complex nature of soot formation, which includes growth and oxidation, detailed numerical models are required to gain fundamental insights into the mechanisms of soot formation.
The PDF method is extended to include soot formation.
PAH formation either preceded or coincided with soot formation, indicating that PAHs are important components in soot formation.
Soot formation along the wings is seen to be surface growth dominated, while PAH condensation dominates centerline soot formation.
