Computational and Experimental Study of Jet Fuel Combustion

Abstract

A coordinated experimental and computational program is needed to develop chemical models of jet fuel that can be used within a larger research and development program. In this proposal we will initiate a joint experimental and computational program designed to test the feasibility of surrogate formulations of JP-8 capable of matching overall properties of the complex fuel and more detailed aspects of its combustion, such as flame structures. The work proposed herein will be leveraged on complementary research at the University of Utah and the University of Milan (Italy). The work will help establish a research infrastructure to provide a better understanding of the combustion of jet fuel, to the benefit of both commercial and military users.
