VOF – DPM Simulation of Fuel-Air Mixing and Liquid Sheet Breakup in a Combustion Chamber
Mixing of fuel, oxidant, and air in a combustion chamber to study injection behavior over an impingement plate, simulated using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method with transition to a Discrete Phase Model (DPM). The analysis captures liquid sheet formation and its subsequent thinning and breakup.
