Accurate treatment of size distribution effects in polydisperse spray diffusion flames: multi-fluid modelling, computations and experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Eulerian multi-fluid model is validated by comparison with experimental measurements in the test case of laminar spray counterflow diffusion flames. Special attention is devoted, both from the modelling and experimental point of view, to the treatment of the droplet distribution tail, characterized by the rare occurrence of relatively large droplets carrying a non-negligible amount of mass. The Eulerian multi-fluid approach is shown to capture the dynamics, evaporation and heating of the droplets with a limited number of sections and, thus, at a modest cost. This simplification will be essential for the use of multi-fluid methods in multi-dimensional problems.

A new Eulerian model is derived for polydisperse moderately-inertial sprays with coalescence: an Anisotropic Gaussian Velocity Closure conserves all the second order moments to render the spatial structure of the spray after Droplet Trajectory Crossing. Polydispersity is treated with a high order in size Multi-Fluid method where coalescence terms are directly computed from the velocity reconstr...
