Numerical Simulation of Droplet Combustion using Volume-of-Fluid Method
Author:
Abstract: The droplet combustion is simulated numerically. The Navier-Stokes equations and the energy conservation equations together with the combustion model equations are solved in the computational fluid dynamics framework using the volume-of-fluid method. The characteristics of temperature increase due to combustion are simulated well, and the effect of ambient flow is made clear. It is shown that the droplet shape is varying and the high temperature region spreads widely in the ambient flow. The internal vortex flow is found to be driven by the surface tension force. The present numerical model is effective for analyses of complicated reacting flows.
