Prediction of Soot Formation in a Turbulent Diusion Jet Flame Using the Linear-Eddy Model

The formation of soot particles in a turbulent diusion methane-air jet \name is pre-dicted using the linear eddy model (LEM). A reduced mechanism with 15 reactions and 19 species for methane-air is supplemented by additional soot kinetics to compute the volume fraction and the number density of soot particles. A turbulent jet diusion \name is simulated and compared to past experimental and numerical data reported in the lit-erature. Comparison show that the current LEM approach is capable of predicting with reasonable accuracy, the radial and axial distribution of soot in a jet diusion \name.
