Soot formed in the fuel-rich regions of coal flames is known to have a significant impact on the radiative heat transfer characteristics of the flame. It is therefore important to account for the effect of soot radiation when simulating coal combustion systems. Several recent coal combustion studies have used acetylene as a surrogate for devolatilized tar and neglect soot formation altogether, while others have utilized empirical models for tar and soot or even chemical mechanisms which include tar and soot as species. In this work, we investigate several methods of treating coal-derived tar and soot and the impact each treatment has on predicted furnace temperature, particle mass loss, and other quantities of interest. Furthermore, we perform a priori comparisons of simulation results to calculations from a steady laminar flamelet model in order to assess the accuracy of a flamelet approach for each tar and soot treatment considered. Data used as a basis for the study is generated through One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) simulation of a coal combustion system in which high-fidelity models are used for gas phase chemistry and devolatilization, where char combustion is neglected.
