| Popis: | In a real propulsion system, shock-droplet interaction is often accompanied by phase change, which has a significant effect on the deformation and fragmentation of the droplet. In this paper, we study the effect of phase change on the n-dodecane droplet propulsion, deformation and fragmentation impacted by shock waves with high-resolution numerical simulations. First, we conduct a comparative study on shock waves and n-dodecane droplets interaction with and without phase change model. The impact of the shock wave changes the pressure and temperature distribution around the droplet, causing the droplet liquefaction on the windward side. With the influence of phase change, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) waves on the windward surface are enhanced, the development of KHI waves on the leeward surface of droplet is inhibited by vaporization. Furthermore, it is found that phase change suppresses both the flattening of the cylinder and shearing of the sheet at droplet equator. Next, we investigate the effect of Mach number on shock-droplet interaction with consideration of phase change. As the shock Mach number increases, the flattening and vaporization of droplets are suppressed, the KHI waves on the windward surface and the shear stripping of the sheet at the droplet equator are enhanced. The shear stripping of the liquid sheet plays a more dominant role in the deformation and breakup process than the flattening of the droplet under the SIE breakup mechanism in a higher Mach number.
