Research abstract
The goal of this Phase II effort is to achieve significant improvements in our understanding and modeling of trans-critical combustors operating at high pressure in regimes of interest to the Air Force.There are three main objectives we pursue:1) The use ofmolecular dynamic models as a predictive tool for thermodynamic and transport properties of mixtures, 2) Improved liquid/gas interface models at high pressures to predict subcritical or supercritical nature of the flow, and3) Development of more advanced EoSmodels for fluid mixtures in regimes of interest to the Air ForceThese upgrades will be developed in a modular fashion to permit incorporation within in-house CFD tools used at AFRL after testing and validation as part of this effort.
