Popis: International audience; The external structure of the spray-flamelet can be described using the Schvab-Zel’dovich-Linan formulation. The gaseous mixture-fraction variable as function of the physical space,Z(xi), typically employed for the description of gaseous diffusion flames leads to non-monotonicity behaviour for spray flames due to the extra fuel supplied by vaporisation of droplets distributed into the flow. As a result, the overall properties of spray flames depend not only on Z and the scalar dissipation rate, χ, but also on the spray source term, Sv. We propose a new general coordinate variable which takes into account the spatial information about the entire mixture fraction due to the gaseous phase and droplet vaporisation. This coordinate variable, ZC(xi) is based on the cumulative value of the gaseous mixture fraction Z(xi), and is shown to be monotonic. For pure gaseous flow, the new cumulative function, ZC, yields the well-established flamelet structure in Z-space. In the present manuscript, the spray-flamelet structure and the new equations for temperature and mass fractions in terms of ZC are derived and then applied to the canonical counter flow configuration with potential flow. Numerical results are obtained for ethanol and methanol sprays, and the effect of Lewis and Stokes numbers on the spray-flamelet structure are analyzed. The proposed formulation agrees well when mapping the structure back to physical space thereby confirming our integration methodology.
