TL;DR: A description of recent spray evaporation and combustion models, taking into account turbulent two-and three-dimensional spray processes found in furnaces, gas turbine combustors, and internal combustion engines, is given in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of drop deformation and secondary breakup were observed for shock wave initiated disturbances in air at normal temperature and pressure Test liquids included water, glycerol solutions, n-heptane, ethyl alcohol and mercury to yield Weber numbers (We) of 05-1000, Ohnesorge numbers (Oh) of 00006-4, liquid/gas density ratios of 580-12,000 and Reynolds numbers (Re) of 300-16,000.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of spray combustion in rocket engine, gas turbine, diesel engine and industrial furnace applications, highlighting the need for improved injector characterization methods, more information of droplet transport characteristics in turbulent flow and continued development of more complete two-phase turbulent models.

TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the near-injector dense-spray region and the properties of secondary and primary breakup are reviewed, emphasizing the structure and properties of spray combustion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of soot aggregates was investigated, emphasizing the fractal properties as well as the relationships between the properties of actual and projected soot images. And the authors found that soot aggregate fractal property is relatively independent of fuel type and flame condition, yielding a fractal dimension of 1.82 with experimental uncertainties of 0.08 and 0.5, respectively.
