TL;DR: In this paper, the size, morphology, and volume fraction of soot particles within the fuel-rich regions of a non-premixed turbulent jet flame fueled by ethylene/air at atmospheric pressure were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a soot-containing turbulent non-premixed flame burning ethylene in atmospheric-pressure air was investigated by conducting nonintrusive laser scattering and extinction experiments at various axial and radial flame locations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured mean soot volume fractions for the first time within two turbulent non-premixed flames burning ethylene and acetylene in air and compared the independent TS/TEM data for assessing the uncertainties associated with the experimental determinations of soot volumes.

TL;DR: Soot formation within a highly luminous turbulent non-premixed flame burning acetylene in air was investigated by conducting laser scattering and extinction experiments as mentioned in this paper, which allowed decoupling of surface growth and oxidation from the unavoidable aggregation process and therefore provided accurate descriptions of turbulent soot dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fuel type on particle evolution within turbulent flames could be explored using laser scattering and extinction experiments, and mean soot volume fractions, spherule diameters and aggregate sizes were exclusively characterized based on an optical interpretation that can properly account for actual particulate morphology.
