One of the key issues in the present state of the art of CFD for combustion chambers in industrial applications is to predict the injection of liquid fuel as a polydisperse spray. Whereas purely gaseous combustion has received a rather complete investigation, two-phase combustion involves a much more complex environment due to the interaction of turbulence and combustion with the liquid phase. In this context, the ANR project NEXTFLAME is a joint research effort between EM2C, CERFACS and CORIA to cover the whole scientific spectrum from numerical analysis and accurate and reliable numerical scheme design, through high performance scientific computing with academic and industrial code, up to new generations of optical diagnostics for experimental measurement of two-phase flows.
