The numerical technique is based on the VOF\u0000method, the LES model is used to take into account turbulence, and the technology of adapted\u0000dynamic grids is used to describe the behavior of the interfacial boundary at main turbulent\u0000scales; this has made it possible to resolve secondary water droplets up to 20\u0000<span>( mu )</span>m in size. The droplet shape, the flow structure near and in the droplet wake,\u0000and the nature of mass entrainment were investigated. As a result of the calculations, the\u0000dependences of the breakup time on the dimensionless droplet diameter were obtained, the\u0000breakup induction time was determined, and the time constant of droplet interaction with the flow\u0000was calculated to estimate the droplet breakup lag.\u0000</p>","PeriodicalId":607,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Industrial Mathematics","volume":"18 3","pages":"548 - 557"},"PeriodicalIF":0.58,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
