Abstract:

The result of this study is a computer program which can calculate the trajectory of a droplet or particle in three dimensions in a three dimensional flow field. Droplets are injected into a computer predicted flow field in a gas turbine combustor can with initial conditions corresponding to the point of sheet break up of fuel leaving the atomizer being modeled. The fundamental equations of motion are solved numerically for each droplet size in a statistical distribution representing the whole spray. The angular position of the point of injection is also varied. Author
