Numerical Simulation of a Vortex Combustor Based on Aluminum and Steam
Energies, 2016 In this paper we report a new development in the numerical model for aluminum-steam combustion. This model is based on the diffusion flame of the continuum regime and the thermal equilibrium between the particle and the flow field, which can be used to ...
