Flow and Chemical Reaction in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Media
Abstract
The work supported by this Contract focuses on the fundamental processes involved in spray combustion, transition to detonation, flame-acoustic interaction and vapor explosions. These processes include single-phase fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. The interactions and couplings among these processes have been of particular interest. The research effort in multiphase dynamics includes an examination of the entropy inequality to see if it can provide constraints on constitutive equations; derivation of constitutive equations for high Reynolds number flow of spherical droplets; derivation of a model for the evolution of geometric parameters during the flow; and derivation of a model for particle velocity fluctuations in a fluid.
