One of the primary concerns in developing these combustion systems is the reduction of particulate matter (i.e., soot) emissions. This is due to the fact that soot emissions have adverse effects on human health and the environment. In this context, mitigating soot emissions from these combustion systems requires a comprehensive understanding of the physicochemical pathways from fuel to soot particles in turbulent, swirling flames. Moreover, fundamental studies of soot emissions in turbulent swirling flames can help elucidate the processes of soot formation and evolution in complex reacting flows. In this work, we intend to provide a comprehensive review of soot formation and evolution in turbulent swirling flames. First, the physicochemical processes involved in soot formation and evolution are introduced, including the formation of gas-phase soot precursors, soot nucleation, coagulation and condensation, surface growth, and oxidation and fragmentation. These processes are discussed in the context of the features of soot formation and evolution in turbulent swirling flames. A detailed review is then made of the experimental measurements and diagnostic methods related to soot. Through the classification of the burner configurations, a comprehensive review of the experimental progress of sooting swirl flames is given. The parameter studies, including pressure, equivalence ratio, and thermal power, among others, are summarized, resulting in a detailed overview. Subsequently, numerical simulation methodologies of sooting swirl flames are introduced, including the numerical construction of chemical kinetics, turbulent combustion, and soot models. A comprehensive review of numerical studies is made in terms of burner configurations, modeling methods, and mechanism analysis. This review concludes by summarizing the challenges faced in turbulent swirl flames and anticipating future research on soot.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 106667"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144896508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To develop airborne bacterial samplers and detection devices, aerosol experiments should first be conducted using an atomizer in the laboratory to determine the bacterial concentration in an actual indoor air environment. For example, the concentration of <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> in indoor air has been reported to be 10¹–10³ colony-forming units (CFUs) per 1 m³ of air. The bacterial aerosol concentration generated using an atomizer depends on the concentration of the liquid suspension containing bacterial particles inside the atomizer. Moreover, such low concentrations of airborne bacteria require the precise control of the suspension concentration. In addition, traditional methods of measuring bioaerosol concentrations depend on culture-based techniques, which only measure a portion of the total microbial community and have the drawback of being slow, often taking one to several days to complete. This study proposes a predictive methodology for estimating airborne bacterial concentration (CFUs/m³) based on the absorbance measurement of a bacterial suspension in an atomizer using UV/VIS spectroscopy. This methodology involves establishing a correlation curve by preparing different concentrations of bacterial suspensions, measuring their absorbances, aerosolizing each suspension using an atomizer, and sampling airborne bacteria for CFU enumeration. With the obtained correlation curve, simply measuring the absorbance of a certain bacterial suspension can yield the CFU concentration of bacteria in the air without repeatedly performing time-consuming experiments. <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> was used as an example species, and the R² between the CFU concentrations in air and the absorbances of the suspensions was 0.9976.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 106674"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144896518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we develop a Monte Carlo numerical model to investigate the role of collisions as an additional mechanism for particle detachment.

The efficacy of drug delivery for both would depend on the regional deposition fraction. Various factors such as particle size, inhalation rate, etc. influence the deposition outcomes. More importantly, the trajectories of inhaled particles depend on the unique geometry of each person’s respiratory tract.
