This work covers the effect of droplet deformation on its evaporation rate under convective flow conditions. The evaporation behavior of a freely deforming droplet of single component jet fuel surrogate, n-decane, is investigated by varying…
This study presents direct numerical simulation (DNS) of finite-size, interface-resolved ammonia and n-heptane droplets evaporating in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Simulations are conducted for each fuel to model the dynamics…
The objective of this work is to investigate the coupling of fluid dynamics, heat transfer and mass transfer during the impact and evaporation of droplets on a heated solid substrate. A laser-based thermoreflectance method is used to…
We simulate the flow of two immiscible and incompressible fluids separated by an interface in a homogeneous turbulent shear flow at a shear Reynolds number equal to 15200. The viscosity and density of the two fluids are equal, and various…
Emulsion fuels have the potential to reduce both particulate matter and NOx emissions and can potentially improve the efficiency of combustion engines. However, their limited stability remains a critical barrier to practical use as an…
The vaporization of a freely moving drop in a uniform, high-temperature gas stream is investigated through direct numerical simulation. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with surface tension and phase change are solved in…
We numerically study the finite-size droplet condensation-evaporation transition in two dimensions. We consider and compare two orthogonal approaches, namely at fixed temperature and at fixed density, making use of parallel multicanonical…
We develop a model for the thermodynamics and evaporation dynamics of aerosol droplets of a liquid such as water, surrounded by the gas. When the temperature and the chemical potential (or equivalently the humidity) are such that the vapour…
We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the evaporation dynamics of freely levitated water droplets in an upward airstream under varying temperature and relative humidity conditions, using a custom-designed…
We numerically and experimentally investigate evaporation of a sessile droplet on a heated substrate. We develop a finite element (FE) model in two-dimensional axisymmetric coordinates to solve coupled transport of heat in the droplet and…
We use the excluded volume Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model with the most up-to-date hadron list to calculate $\eta T/w$ at low temperatures and at finite baryon densities $\rho_B$. This $\eta T/w$ is then matched to a QCD-based shear…
When a drop of water is placed on a rough surface, there are two possible extreme regimes of wetting: the one called Cassie-Baxter (CB) with air pockets trapped underneath the droplet and the one characterized by the homogeneous wetting of…
We investigate numerically quasi-steady internal flows in an axially symmetrical evaporating sessile droplet depending on the ratio of substrate to fluid thermal conductivities, fluid volatility, contact angle and droplet size. Temperature…
Turbulent mixing and entrainment at the boundary of a cloud is studied by means of direct numerical simulations that couple the Eulerian description of the turbulent velocity and water vapor fields with a Lagrangian ensemble of cloud water…
We study the statistics of deformation of neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT), wherein the characteristic droplet size $R$ is smaller than the characteristic Kolmogorov scale $\eta$ of the turbulent flow. We…
Turbulent emulsions are complex physical systems characterized by a strong and dynamical coupling between small-scale droplets and large-scale rheology. By using a specifically designed Taylor-Couette (TC) shear flow system, we are able to…
\textit{This study focuses on combustion and evaporation of an isolated freely deforming fuel droplet under convective flow. The droplet shape is modified by varying Weber number at moderate Reynolds numbers. A simplified chemical reaction…
In this paper, we present a theoretical study aimed at investigating the rate-limiting factors in thin-film evaporative heat transfer processes, considering the finite-rate evaporation kinetics. The problems of evaporation of a flat…
It is known that a finite-size homogeneous granular fluid develops an hydrodynamic-like instability when dissipation crosses a threshold value. This instability is analyzed in terms of modified hydrodynamic equations: first, a source term…
We present a numerical study of emulsions in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence at $Re_\lambda=137$. The problem is addressed via Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), where the Volume of Fluid (VOF) is used to represent the complex…
