Advances in Large-eddy Simulation of Two-phase Combustion （I） LES of Spray Combustion

摘要

Spray combustion is widely used in power, transportation, chemical and metallurgical, iron and steel making, aeronautical and astronautical engineering. In recent years, large-eddy simulation （LES） becomes more and more attractive, because it can give the instantaneous flow and flame structures, and may give more accurate statistical results than the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） modeling. In this paper, the present status of the studies on LES of spray combustion is reviewed, and the future research needs are discussed.
