Numerical Simulations of Real-Fluid Reacting Sprays at Transcritical Pressures Using Multiphase Thermodynamics

Transcritical fuel sprays form an indispensable part of high-pressure energy-conversion systems. Modeling the complex real-fluid effects in the high-pressure multiphase regime of such sprays accurately, especially the hybrid subcritical-to-supercritical mode of evaporation during mixing fuel and oxidizer, is essential and challenging. This...
