Abstract

Spray combustion includes a lot of physical processes that occur simultaneously, most prominently injection, atomization, dispersion, evaporation, and combustion. Therefore, it is not sufficient to rely only on experimental techniques for understanding this problem. As a complementary source of information, highly accurate numerical models can be used to perform such investigations. Using high-performance computers (HPC), even parametric studies become possible.
