AB - A new Monte Carlo method termed Comb-like frame Monte Carlo is developed to  simulate the soot dynamics. Detailed stochastic error analysis is provided.  Comb-like frame Monte Carlo is coupled with the gas phase solver Chemkin II  to simulate soot formation in a 1-D premixed burner stabilized flame. The  simulated soot number density, volume fraction, and particle size  distribution all agree well with the measurement available in literature. The  origin of the bimodal distribution of particle size distribution is revealed  with quantitative proof.
