Description:
Assumptions commonly employed in the analytical description of a thin spray become unacceptable as the droplet density and droplet volume displacement become large. Changes in the semiempirical models describing drop-drop or drop-gas interactions as well as in the basic modeling approach itself may be necessary. A number of efforts undertaken to improve such models of the atomization-evaporation process to render them applicable in the dense-spray, supercritical regime are described. The improvements include those for variable drop density, supercritical properties, stripping evaporation and drop reincorporation into the liquid stream. The models are developed for use with the ARICC three-phase finite difference combustion code. Selected results from a sample calculation are presented, demonstrating the enhanced realism achievable with the upgraded models.
