Popis: The current work presents the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of a kerosene spray ignition phase in a simplified aeronautical combustor for which detailed experimental data are available. The carrier phase is simulated using an unstructured multi-species compressible Navier-Stokes solver while the dispersed liquid phase is modeled with a Lagrangian approach. An energy deposition model neglecting the presence of a plasma phase in the very first instants of the energy deposition process, a reduced kinetic scheme and a simplified spray injection model are combined to achieve both a reasonable computational expense and a satisfactory overall accuracy. Following a brief description of the validation of these models, non reactive gaseous and two-phase flow LES’s of the target combustor are performed. Excellent agreement with experiments is observed for the non reactive gaseous simulations. The dispersed phase velocity fields are also well reproduced while discrepancies appear for the spatial size distribution of the particles. Finally, numerical snapshots of a successful ignition phase are shown and discussed.
