RutlandFlashBoil Class Reference

Evaporation model with flash boiling. More...

#include <dieselSpray/RutlandFlashBoil.H>


Detailed Description

Evaporation model with flash boiling.

Evaporation model that takes into account of:

  • flash boiling of the liquid core and droplets
  • superheated vaporization of a boiling droplet
