Previously, a theory has been presented that explains how discrete vapor–liquid interfaces
become diminished at certain high-pressure conditions in a manner that leads to well known …

In high pressure fuel injectors, needle opening and closing transients cause complex off-
design fluid dynamics behaviors that profoundly impact the spray and mixture formation …

A generalized framework for multi-component liquid injections is presented to understand
and predict the breakdown of classic two-phase theory and spray atomization at engine …

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the flow topologies and turbulence scales in the
jet-in-cross-flow experiment of Su and Mungal [“Simultaneous measurements of scalar and …

In advanced gas turbine engines, high-pressure combustion generally occurs with
combustion chamber pressure exceeding the critical pressure of the engine fuel. In this …

The need for improved engine efficiencies has motivated the development of high-pressure
combustion systems, in which operating conditions achieve and exceed critical conditions …

In this paper, the trans-/near-/supercritical jet models were established using a combination
of large eddy numerical simulations and real fluid equations of state (EOS) in order to …

This work reports investigations on Diesel spray transients, accounting for internal nozzle
flow and needle motion, and demonstrates how seamless calculations of internal flow and …

Spurious pressure oscillations are a numerical instability that is commonly observed in
multiphase and multicomponent flow problems near the critical point. A diffuse-interface …

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 …
