Supercritical Fuel Jets- Resolving Controversy

Abstract

This report describes a four-year project (plus a one-year, no-cost extension) with the goal to generate quantitative data related to changes at the interface between a fuel jet and the surrounding gas; at high pressures and temperatures. This goal required the development of an experiment that provides an appropriate environment for investigation of fuel/gas interfaces. To generate more fundamental data using the new facilities also requires development and application of laser diagnostics. This project was co-funded; by AFOSR [total budget of $365,632, mostly for salaries and some travel] and by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council [total budget of 354,166 (~ $492,000) mostly for equipment].
