In combustion processes of hydrocarbon-containing fuels, pollutants, such as unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen, collectively referred to as NOx, and particulates in the form of soot, are formed and emitted into the atmosphere. The severe environmental effects of increased ambient NOx concentrations have led to stringent emission laws and as a result. A promising tool to accomplish this goal is the design and control of these systems using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
