Spray combustion solver from the first principles: Resolving atomization/vaporization/combustion processes
We are developing a full atomization-vaporization-combustion solver for spray combustion. The combustion solver, PeleLM, and the multiphase library, IRL, are coupled. The figure shows an oscillating liquid jet simulation using the coupled PeleLM+IRL. The azimuthal instability of the oscillating liquid jet is studied.

In partnership with Prof. Richard Sandberg at the University of Melbourne, our lab develops a DNS code to simulate turbulent combustion. The code is called HiPSTAR (The High-Performance Solver for Turbulence and Aeroacoustic Research), which is initially developed to simulate turbulent non-reacting flows.
