Abstract
This paper deals with the numerical simulation of the vaporisation of an unsteady fuel spray at high ambient temperature and pressure solving the appropriate conservation equations. The extended droplet vaporisation model accounts for the effects of non-ideal droplet evaporation and gas solubility including the diffusion of heat and species within fuel droplets. To account for high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, the fuel properties and the phase boundary conditions are calculated by an equation of state and the liquid/vapour equilibrium is estimated from fugacities. Calculations for an unsteady diesel-like spray were performed for a gas temperature of 800 K and a pressure of 5 MPa and compared to experimental results for droplet velocities and diameter distribution. The spray model is based on an Eulerian/Lagrangian approach. The comparison shows that the differences between the various spray models are pronounced for single droplets. For droplet sprays the droplet diameter distribution is more influenced by secondary break-up and droplet coagulation.
