Project in brief
This project aims to develop fundamental understanding and new computational models for the complex problem of turbulence and mixing in high-speed liquid jets at the vicinity of Mach 1. The understanding of liquid jet behaviour is of critical importance in the design and development of new automotive propulsion technologies such as the recuperated split cycle engine. The project will focus on the fundamental fluid mechanics, development of a coherent framework for describing and modelling unsteady supercritical flow, and implementation of a practical simulation methodology for the air induction process in the engine. The research will take place within a group in the Advanced Engineering Centre at the University of Brighton, and will be supported by experimental research funded by Dolphin N2.
