11. Illustration of the dual fuel (DF) ignition process in which the high reactivity fuel (HRF) n-dodecane spray droplets ignite the low reactivity fuel (LRF) methane/air in the ambient (left). DNS-like simulation of DF combustion the process with n-dodecane/methane/air as the fuel and methane/air as the oxidizer (Right). There are four different regimes in DF combustion which are as follows: (I) Fuel injection (II) Mixing and dilution (III) Flame initiation (IV) Flame front propagation.

This dissertation is related to the research areas of computational physics and numerical modeling of combustion. The study intends to determine the ignition characteristics of dual-fuel (DF) and tri-fuel (TF) sprays when a high-reactivity fuel spray (n-dodecane) is mixed with a low-reactivity fuel (methane/hydrogen/or its blends) and an oxidizer/E...
