Abstract

Liquid fuels are widely used in industrial systems for energy utilization through turbulent spray combustion. However, high-fidelity modeling of turbulent spray combustion is notoriously challenging because of its inherent complexities. This study aims to develop a novel spray flamelet model within a reduced tabulation parameter space, designed to simulate turbulent spray combustion processes at a relatively low computational cost. The research covers several key areas, including the development of an effective evaporation model, the construction and validation of the spray flamelet model for both laminar and turbulent cases, and the adaptation of the model for heavy fuel cases.
