A novel simulation framework has been developed in this study for the direct numerical
simulation of the aerodynamic breakup of a vaporizing drop. The interfacial multiphase flow …

A fundamental understanding and simulation of fuel atomization, phase transition, and
mixing are among the topics researchers have struggled with for decades. One of the …

An ever-increasing number of engineering problems regard the numerical simulation of fluid
flows with high-density ratio, shock wave onset, and different chemical species. In such …

The phase transition from subcritical to supercritical conditions, referred to as transcritical
behavior, significantly impacts the evaporation and fuel–air mixing in high-pressure liquid …

Transcritical shock-droplet interactions (TSDIs) occur in a spectrum of high-speed
propulsion systems involving liquid fuel injection.“Transcritical” behavior refers to a condition …

A two-phase, low-Mach-number flow solver is created and verified for variable-density liquid
and gas with phase change. The interface is sharply captured using a split volume-of-fluid …

The injection of multi-species fluids into high-pressure and high-temperature environments
beyond the species' critical points is commonly found in engineering applications. At these …

Examining the influence of shock waves on cylinders and droplets at near-critical conditions,
especially when accounting for real fluid effects, represents a relatively unexplored frontier …

A Cartesian grid based sharp interface (SI) multiphase flow model is developed to
investigate the symmetric and asymmetric impact of a wedge with sharp phase changes. A …

In compressible flows with a variable ratio of specific heats, such as multi-component flows,
the conventional conservative schemes generate spurious pressure oscillations at multi …
