Soot Formation in Combustion

Soot Formation in Combustion is based on updated contributions tracing back to the 1991 Heidelberg symposium entitled "Mechanism and Models of Soot Formation". All articles have been reedited in close contact with the original authors by Prof. Bockhorn and present the most recent and comprehensive research results on soot formation.
