... chosen as candidate surrogate components and formulated by the function group based surrogate fuel methodology. Some important physical properties and spray characteristics for S-8, Jet-A, and RP-3 surrogate models were validated. The results indicate that present surrogate models can well emulate...

... are assumed to be well-mixed. Naturally, the effect of such a well-mixed assumption needs to be examined. Past simulation studies on the effect of cell mixedness on engine simulations [ 36 ] have suggested that the impact of unmixed fluids on the overall auto-ignition delay is minor. In summary, the spray...

.... This model extends two widely used models, the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability of Reitz (the “blob” model) (1987, Atomization Spray Technol., 3, pp. 309–337) and the Taylor-Analogy-Breakup (TAB) secondary droplet breakup of O’Rourke and Amsden (1987, SAE Technical Paper No. 872089) to include liquid...
