Abstract

The paper presentsthe computational experiments of the liquid fuels spray and its droplets distribution in a turbulent reacting flow. Primary and secondary atomization of two types of liquid fuel droplets (isooctane and dodecane) in the presence of combustion was described by the equations of continuity, momentum, internal energy, concentration of components of reacting substances and a two-parameter model for calculating turbulent flow. The study results of the spray, dispersion and combustion of droplets of hydrocarbon liquid fuels in a model combustion chamber when changing the injector injection angle were obtained. The injection angle values varied from 2 to 10 degrees. Based on the computational experiment temperature profiles and concentration characteristics of combustion products and gas in the combustion chamber at various times were obtained. Numerical calculations of the droplets’ Sauter mean diameter distributions have the same dispersion pattern for dodecane. This suggests that the accuracy and adequacy of developed complex model of the formation and distribution of spray in a reacting flow has been confirmed by its strong correlation and good agreement of the modeling results with experimental data from other researchers. This kind of modeling methods and the obtained computational experiments results from them are widely used not only in traditional thermal power engineering, but also in the study of technological processes in the new generation engines chambers, combustion of alternative types of fuels and optimization of their combustion.
