and Extraction [297].<br />

Final Remarks on <strong>the</strong> Impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ignition Position<br />

The correlations outlined for <strong>the</strong> initial stages <strong>of</strong> droplet combustion explain<br />

<strong>the</strong> discrepancies between <strong>the</strong> two ignition approaches and <strong>the</strong> NO x emissions<br />

observed. The analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> maximum temperature T max , weighted<br />

NO x production rate ˙ω NOx , and flame stand-<strong>of</strong>f ratio ζ in conjunction with<br />

pre-vaporized droplets gives a more detailed insight into ignition modeling.<br />

It is important to apply <strong>the</strong> lessons learned from this study in order to obtain<br />

a well-founded modeling <strong>of</strong> droplet ignition within <strong>the</strong> combustion setup investigated<br />

here. The corresponding implementation procedure may require<br />

an iterative adaptation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heat introduction parameters. They should be<br />

based on <strong>the</strong> findings for droplet burning and exhaust gas production. The<br />

dominance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mean radius r m,in is essential for <strong>the</strong> entire combustion process<br />

during <strong>the</strong> period <strong>of</strong> heat introduction. Subsequent to ignition and after<br />

a short period <strong>of</strong> flame stabilization, <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ignition model decays.<br />
