A post processing technique to predict primary particle size of sooting flames based on a chemical discrete sectional model: Application to diluted coflow flames

A numerical post-processing strategy to reconstruct the size of soot primary particles is presented in this work in the context of the chemical sectional models. The proposed technique is based on solving the transport equation of the primary particle number density for each considered aggregate size. The chemical source terms are derived from the corresponding chemical reactions. The validity of the proposed approach is tested on target flames...
