• Abstract:
  The objectives of this project, as stated in the Invitation for ASCENT COE Notice of Intent (COE-2014-29), are to “measure the spray characteristics of the nozzles used in the Referee Combustor used in Area 6 tests and to develop models for characterizing the atomization and vaporization of the reference fuels.” We conducted experiments within the joint experimental and modeling effort. The experimental tasks were performed at Purdue University, and the modeling tasks were performed by Prof. Matthias Ihme’s group at Stanford University, Prof. Suresh Menon’s group at Georgia Tech, and Vaidya Sankaran’s group at United Technologies Research Center (UTRC). Nader Rizk developed spray correlations based on the measurements.
  
  Purdue University has highly capable test facilities for measuring spray characteristics over wide ranges of pressure, air temperature, and fuel temperature. The experimental diagnostics applied in this project included PDA and high-frame-rate shadowgraphy. The atomization and spray dynamics for multiple reference and candidate alternative fuels were characterized for the referee rig nozzle operating under near-LBO conditions. The referee rig operation was modeled using novel large-eddy simulation techniques featuring adaptive mesh refinement.
