In this study, a composition-based particulate matter (PM) model of direct injection diesel engines has been formulated and developed to simulate PM emission. The PM model is based on formation mechanisms of main compositions of PM: soot and soluble organic fraction (SOF). Firstly, two models for soot and SOF emissions are established respectively, then, the two models are integrated into a whole PM model. The soot emission model is given by the difference between a primary formation model and an oxidation model of soot. The soot primary formation model is the Hiroyasu soot formation model, and the Nagle and Strickland-Constable model for the soot oxidation is adopted. The SOF emission model is based on an unburned hydrocarbons (HC) emission model, and the HC model is given by the difference between a HC primary formation model and a HC oxidation model.
