Suspended droplet evaporation modeling in a laminar convective environment

A detailed numerical model is used to analyze the evaporation characteristics of a fuel droplet which is suspended concentrically from a spherical bead born at the tip of a thin cylindrical filament. The suspended droplet is exposed to a high-temperature, laminar, gaseous stream with a relevant Reynolds number Re ∼ 50. The model solves the time-dependent axisymmetric Navier-Stokes and energy equations in both fluid phases, in conjunction with...
