Abstract Turbulent combustion of two-phase flows is studied by 2D direct numerical simulation. A spray of droplets is injected inside a jet with a preheated coflow. Triple flames appear to represent the global structure of the flame around the spray. Attention is focused upon global and local flame structures and droplet histories. A whole range of combustion phenomena are observed and described. The observed prevailing occurrence, for example, of the rich premixed flame compared to the diffusion flame is of great importance for any turbulent combustion model which must accurately estimate the heat release rate. This prevailing structure depends strongly on the droplet size and combustion. A competition between premixed and diffusion regimes may also occur. It has been shown that in some cases, local clusters of droplets are able either to cross the main flame front and burn in pure oxidizer or to break through the diffusion flame. It is observed that very complex interactions can emerge locally between premixed flames, diffusion flames and droplets.

For the purpose of increasing applicability of combustion chamber simulation, computational domain, boundary condition, simplicity of complicated structures, mesh generation and physical parameters are investigated in this paper. An annular combustion chamber of some aero-engine is studied by means of predictive numerical simulation. The computational domain includes diffuser, swirler, inner flame tube, inner ring of combustion chamber and the flow channel of all the holes on the wall of flame tube. The film cooling holes row was simplified into a slit filled with porous media. Realizable k-turbulent model and non-premixed combustion model were adopted. Model of pressure atomization nozzle were calibrated and validated through inner nozzle flow property two-phase flow VOF model and experimental data. Physical parameters are express through polynomial functions. A commercial CFD code was adopted on a high performance computing cluster with parallel algorithm and the solving method are high-order discretization scheme. The velocity, pressure, temperature, fuel spray, density of fuel and productions, etc. are calculated and validated with the experimental data.
