Sprays are among the most intellectually challenging and practically important topics in fluid
mechanics. This paper reviews needs, milestones, challenges, and a broad array of …

Whilst the physics of both classical evaporation and supercritical fluid mixing are reasonably
well characterized and understood in isolation, little is known about the transition from one to …

Combustion devices such as rocket engines, gas turbines and HCCI engines frequently
operate at a pressure higher than the critical pressure of the fuel or the oxidizer. This …

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 …

We report observations regarding changes in surface morphology for transient fuel jets as
the ambient conditions approach the critical properties of pure fuels. Both ballistic imaging …

This paper presents an experimental study of spray characterization of MD-NH (a blend of
methyl decanoate and n-heptane in a molar ratio of 1: 1 to characterize biodiesel) in an in …

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 …

Abstract Redlich-Kwong-Peng-Robinson (RK-PR) was developed in recent years as a
promising generalized cubic equation of state (EoS) to allow for a good representation of …

For a multi-component hydrocarbon mixture under supercritical conditions, especially for
fuels injected into compression ignition engines, the mechanism for the transition of the …

As the power density of diesel engines increases, the in-cylinder spray process appears
supercritical phase transition, but the transition boundary and judgment criteria are unclear …
