Abstract

In this work, two numerical techniques, viz. the method of moments and a discrete hp- Galerkin method, have been applied for numerical simulation of soot formation in a laminar premixed acetylene/oxygen/argon flame. From the evolution of the PAH and the soot particle size distributions, new insight into the different processes of soot formation is provided. For this, the single submodels have been examined with respect to their influence on the PAH ...
