Numerical simulation of chemically reacting gas-droplet mixtures for combustion chambers of propulsion engines

The proposed paper refers to the numerical simulation of 3D turbulent chemically reacting flows of gas/droplet mixtures, those that are typical for the combustion chamber of a propulsion engine. A model of such flows is composed that depicts the specifics of propellant supply to the combustion chamber including such details as phase change of propellants and gas-droplet interaction. It is also possible to solve conjugated heat transfer task at the same time. The used model bases on the solution of Favre averaged Navier–Stockes system, energy conservation equation and 3D thermal conductivity equation for solid media in combination with the models of phase conversion and chemical reactions. Applicability of such model is discussed and the examples of test and practical solutions are given.
