New paper on combustion of isolated fuel droplets
🌍🚀 Happy to share our latest publication on combustion of n-propylbenzene. The work is a collaboration between CRECK Modeling, Cornell University, Clemson University, and NASA Glenn Research Center!
New paper on modeling evaporation of suspended droplets
🎉 Congratulations to Edoardo Cipriano on his latest research publication! I’m happy to share this work, published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.
The work is a collaborative effort between CRECK Modeling and Prof. Popinet from Sorbonne Université in Paris, and it introduces a robust volume-of-fluid VOF model for simulating the evaporation of suspended droplets under various gravity conditions—essential for applications from combustion to microgravity studies. 🌍🚀
🔗 Open to the community: The framework is available on the open-source Basilisk platform, offering a valuable tool for researchers and engineers.

PhD Position available!
The CRECK Modeling Lab is looking for candidates for a PhD position for a research project in collaboration with Department of Energy on hydrogen combustion 🔥. The project aims at developing and optimizing new burners fed with hydrogen to enhance efficiency, ensure safety, and minimize pollutant emissions.
