- While researchers had attempted to infer the critical state of fuel droplets based on indirect macroscale measurements, direct evidence for the microscale physics had never been obtained under realistic engine conditions. This paper is significant because it revealed for the first time the phase transition and diffusive mixing of microscopic droplets, under a wide range of pressures and temperatures. This research had a significant impact on the field by providing much-needed evidence for the correct selection of numerical phase change models. These results are a key outcome of EPSRC project EP/K020528/1 with bp, and underpinned REF2021 Impact Case Study [ICS_bp].
