Abstract
A model of counter flow, partially premixed, laminar spray combustion is presented. It has been shown that for this situation a variety of s ingle, double, or triple homogeneous flame scenarios can arise, accomp anied by interflame droplet vaporization and/or heterogeneous bunting. The influence of the strain rate, premixture injection rate, Prandtl and Schmidt numbers, and vaporization Damkohler number on these two-ph ase combustion ensemblages is studied in detail. The sensitivity of th e mode of combustion to the flow, transport, and evaporation parameter s is indicative of the complexities of the interactions that are pecul iar to spray combustion.
