Good morning ladies and gentlemen and thank you for attending my presentation. My name is Vivien Lecoustre, I am french mechanical engineer pursuing a PhD in mechanical engineering @ UMD. My topic presentation is a computational investigation of sooting limits of spherical diffusion flames. My co-authors are professor Beei Huan Chao, from university of Hawaii, Professor Peter Sunderland (who is my advisor) from UMD, David Urban and Denis Stocker, from the NASA Glenn Research center and Professor Richard Axelbaum. I would like to acknowledge the support given NASA for this project and thank Scott Skeen for its helpful discussion on the result.
