Numerical Simulation of Fuel Droplet Interactions and Breakup.
Abstract
The objective of the research is to develop Lagrangian methods on triangular grids and apply these methods to the calculation of life-history and dynamics of fuel droplets. During the period October 1985 to September 1986, the two-dimensional code SPLISH was used to study droplet distortion and breakup due to shear flows. A preliminary calculation of droplet-droplet collision was performed. Further testing of the basic SPLISH hydrodynamic algorithms as well as the surface tension algorithm were performed on internal gravity and capillary waves. A reorganization of the computer code itself was begun in order to make the code user-friendly and, more importantly, portable.
