In mechanically agitated vessels, bulk flow circulation which plays a leading role in
macroscale mixing is controlled by hidden Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs). We use a …

Common modal decomposition techniques for flow-field analysis, data-driven modelling and
flow control, such as proper orthogonal decomposition and dynamic mode decomposition …

High altitude relight is a matter of increasing importance for aero engine manufacturers, in
which combustion plays literally a vital role. In this paper we want to evaluate the predictive …

Primary breakup of liquid fuel in a realistic fuel spray nozzle as utilized in aero engines is
numerically investigated. As grid based methods exhibit a variety of disadvantages with …

Understanding the physics of phase separation between gas and liquid phases as a mixture
mass has long been a challenge. In this paper, a phase separation description criterion …

The new generation of internal combustion engines is facing various research challenges
which often include modern fuels and different operating modes. A robust modeling …

Prefilming airblast atomisers are commonly used in gas turbine combustion system fuel
injectors. As the film propagates across the prefilmer it interacts with the high velocity gas …

Advancements in internal combustion technology, such as efficiency improvements and the
usage of new complex fuels, are often coupled with developments of suitable numerical …

The Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) is a well-established numerical tool for
assessing stretching rates of initial parcels of fluid, which are advected according to a given …

The liquid atomization process relies on the disturbance of the liquid surface by various
forces. In the case of “flow-blurring”(FB) atomization, this is achieved by inducing flow …
