- Accurate predictive and computationally efficient modelling of the complex physics of fuel droplet heating and evaporation is key to understanding the performance of many power and propulsion applications. This research is significant because it presents a new approach to modelling heating and evaporation of multi-components gasoline fuel, based upon comparison with a surrogate fuel, composed of fewer discrete quasi-components/single components, separating the contribution of n‐alkanes and iso‐alkanes. This approach reduces CPU overhead without compromising predictive accuracy. This research is a key outcome of EPSRC grant EP/K020528/1, and underpinned a successful EPSRC proposal (EP/M002608/1) and studentship (1792531).
