Numerical Methodologies for the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations for Two-Phase Flows

  • Chapter
Modern Research Topics in Aerospace Propulsion

Abstract

In the present work, the attention is focused on two-phase flows containing liquid droplets. The physics of sprays and numerical methodologies for the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for two-phase flows are reviewed, and a novel numerical approach is presented. Applications of the method to sprays in constant pressure ambient and in confined volumes are reported, and results are compared with available experimental data.
