The physico-chemical processes in a liquid-rocket combustion chamber are extremely complicated, involving an array of intricacies such as jet atomization, spray formation, droplet transport, multiphase flow mixing, and chemical reactions. Many strong interactions among these processes with wide disparity in time and length scales exist in close proximity to one another. Since the transport characteristics of individual droplest play a decisive role in determining the local flow behavior in a spray field, the study of droplet vaporization and combustion were given by Williams, Faeth, Law, Sirignano, and Dwyer.
