The Role of Oxide Layer Thickness in Turbulent Iron Combustion

Our recent paper, "On the role of oxide layer thickness in iron particle cloud ignition: A carrier-phase DNS study," has now been published in Proceedings of the Combustion Institute. The study shows how oxide layer growth can inhibit ignition and demonstrates that rapid heating or particle preheating can overcome this barrier, providing valuable insights for the development of carbon-free metal fuel combustion systems.
