The current socio-economic shift towards electrification of the transport sector and
development of hybrid thermal–electric propulsion systems provides new opportunities for
the development of 'clean'aviation technologies. In this work, the use of electrostatic fields to
control the location of electrically charged fuel droplets is proposed as a novel technology to
enhance pre-evaporation of liquid sprays in confined spaces. An electrospray in cross-flow
is numerically investigated using large-eddy simulations for a range of flow and droplet …
