Tracking particle is important to many reacting flow applications. For example, soot formation and emissions are critical concerns for clean combustion technology development. The Particle Tracking feature simulates particle inception, growth and oxidation, providing statistics on particle sizes and mass loading. It is included with CHEMKIN-PRO combustion models.
Features include:
- Sectional method that directly provides the details of particle size distributions.
- Optional Moment method that predicts the statistics of particle-size-distribution, such as mean particle diameter.
- Prediction of mass and volume fractions of particles in the particle-flow system.
- Initiation of particle-size tracking using a method that tracks the moments of the particle size distribution function when a dispersed condensed-phase material is encountered in the chemistry set.
- Nucleation reaction type that allows formation of a condensed phase dispersed in the gas flow.
- Ability to include nucleation from more than one particle precursor.
- Ability to specify surface reactions for growth or reduction of particles due to condensation, deposition, oxidation, and any other surface reaction.
