Integrated approach to spray-combustion model development. Report for October 1985-October 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6180951

The major elements of an approach to the development of a more-powerful spray-combustion model is discussed. A model is sought that treats, in a numerically efficient manner, unsteady, multidimensional, turbulent reacting flows with polydisperse, multicomponent sprays and properly accounts for transient droplet heating and vaporization, liquid-phase mass diffusion, and droplet drag and trajectory. Major advances are reviewed and important issues remaining for resolution are discussed.
