Abstract

The dynamics of soot formation in ethylene-air nonpremixed counterflow flames is studies using direct numerical simulation (DNS), using a semi-empirical soot model and the discrete ordinate method (DOM) as a radiation solver. Transient characteristics of soot behavior in the presence of radiation are studies by a model problem of flame interaction with counterrotating vortices as well as with turbulence inflow at various intensities. The interaction between soot and vortex/turbulence reveals that the soot volume fraction depends on the combined effects of the local conditions of flow, temperature and fuel concentration, while the soot number density depends predominantly on the temperature. The local characteristics of soot in laminar and turbulent flames are compared and the results are discussed.
