Evaporation and breakup of droplets are critical phenomena in the liquid-fueled, multiphase
detonation process. Understanding the relevant conditions and times for each process is …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Due to the curvature of the droplet surface, the propagation of transmitted waves is complex
inside a droplet impacted by an incident shock wave. The wave converging phenomena …

Heat transfer at supercritical pressure (SCP) transiting from liquid-like (LL) to gas-like (GL)
state is a compressible flow featured by a nonuniform density field. Pulsating flow has been …

We present a numerical scheme valid in the range of highly to weakly compressible flows
using a single-fluid four equation approach together with multi-component thermodynamic …

Shock–droplet interaction in the early stage involves intricate wave structures. Investigating
this phenomenon is inherently challenging due to the fine spatial and temporal scales …
