Abstract: This work presents a numerical investigation of soot formation in the Cambridge lab-scale gas turbine combustor. Large-eddy simulations (LES) of a swirl-stabilized ethylene flame are performed using the flamelet generated manifold method coupled with a discrete sectional model to account for soot formation, growth, and oxidation. The study aims to elucidate the mechanism governing the spatial structure and intermittency of soot, supported by comparisons with experimental data. The predicted soot distribution agrees well with measurements, with peak concentrations near the bluff body. Flow recirculation is identified as the key mechanism driving soot accumulation in fuel-rich regions, where surface reactions dominate soot mass growth. Soot intermittency arises from fluctuations in the flow field driven by interactions between the flame front and the recirculation vortex. Two soot modeling approaches are evaluated, differing in their treatment of soot model quantities: the first approach employs on-the-fly computation of source terms (FGM-C), while the second uses fully pre-tabulated source terms (FGM-T). Their predictive performance and computational cost are compared in the context of unsteady, sooting flames in swirl-stabilized combustors.

De discussie over minder afhankelijkheid van de VS in digitale zin moet met de start van het nieuwe kabinet in mijn ogen echt in een flink hogere versnelling, niet over de vraag of het kan, maar hoe we het gaan doen en hoe we kunnen versnellen, samen met andere EU-landen.

PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ are falling in North Atlantic whales after phaseout
Levels of legacy PFAS “forever chemicals” are falling in North Atlantic long-finned pilot whales after industry phaseouts, offering rare evidence that regulation can reduce ocean pollution—though newer replacement chemicals are still rising.

Electric cargo ships crossing oceans could be just 3 years away. CATL's marine division has already supplied batteries for 900 vessels and is making big strides with sodium-ion tech.
Falling battery prices are finally making long-range electric shipping economically viable—a huge step toward zero-carbon ocean freight.

CATL Expects Oceanic Electric Ships in 3 Years - CleanTechnica
Support CleanTechnica's work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. News in batteries and electrification has been coming fast and furious lately. Recently, Su Yi, the head of CATL’s marine division, stated, “CATL’s marine business already covers inland rivers, lakes, and coastal waters, and is now advancing toward ocean-going applications.” ...
