Abstract

Marine diesel engines (MDEs) are interested due to their ability to generate high power and fuel economy. Nowadays, researchers are seeking different methods to develop the performance of MDEs. Fuels spray behavior has key role to improve of MDEs. Therefore, in the present paper, fundamental of non-reacting and non-evaporating fuel spray simulation are reviewed. For this purpose, recent works in this context are presented and after that, microscopic and macroscopic characteristics of non-reacting spray are described. Finally, the basic formulations of Eulerian-Lagrangian multiphase and different breakup models are presented.
