The measurement of the sizes and the velocities of droplets relies upon widespread and
well-established techniques, but characterizing their temperature and their composition …

Aircraft parabolic flights provide repetitively periods of reduced gravity whose duration
depends on the target reduced gravity level and on the type of aircraft used. Typical …

Ethanol is considered a promising alternative fuel due to its advantages compared to
conventional fossil fuels. Since fuel evaporation plays an important role in many …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the effect of droplet size
on the fuel vaporization process in a turbulent atmosphere at standard ambient conditions …

Aircraft parabolic flights repetitively provide up to 23 s of reduced gravity during ballistic flight
manoeuvres. Parabolic flights are used to conduct short microgravity investigations in …

An accurate description of spray atomization and evaporation behavior is an important
prerequisite for studying fuel spray's combustion performance and emission characteristics …

A single ethanol droplet evaporation through laminar methane/air stagnation flame is
investigated at lean, stoichiometric and rich conditions experimentally and numerically. For …

Laser technology is being widely studied for controlled energy deposition for a range of
applications, including flow control, ignition, combustion, and diagnostics. The absorption …

A novel approach to accurately represent the carrier gas thermo-chemical properties of
droplets evaporating in combustion environment is proposed and validated in the context of …

Different strategies to account for the heat and mass transfer between liquid droplets and
