Spray flames simulation using a two phase combustion model with single droplet combustion mode

There are three combustion regimes of individual droplet combustion behavior: the fully enveloped flame, the partially enveloped flame, and the wake flame. From PLIF measurement results, single droplet combustion phenomenon happens in spray flame, as well as lean type gas turbine combustion chamber sometimes. The drag coefficient, evaporation rate, and combustion rate are different according to the burning modes. At present, in Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) method and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method, the droplets are treated as point source because the grid scale is bigger than the droplet diameter. A two phase combustion model with the consideration of the individual droplet burning mode is proposed before. In this paper, this model is tested by spray flames here again. Furthermore, this model was used in a concept lean premixed pre-vaporized (LPP) combustion case too. In spray flame, the predicted results are close to the experimental data.
