      Chapter 2 (R. Prud’homme) focuses on atomization in an acceleration field. The atomization of liquid jets injected into gaseous flows is an important problem that arises in combustion. It is especially important to know the size distribution of droplets to predict the evolution of the obtained sprays. In certain cases, an initial Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, created by vortices generating an acceleration field, becomes the source of a second instability known as the Rayleigh–Taylor instability, which determines the size of the droplets formed through this instability.

      Chapter 3 (T. Chakkour) explores numerical studies of pipes with sudden contraction using OpenFOAM, and focuses on modeling that will be useful for engines and automobiles, bringing together models with 1D/3D couplings and revealing zones with strong gradients.

      Chapters 4 (R. Prud’homme and K. Anani) and 5 (R. Prud’homme, K. Anani and M.N. Hounkonnou) study the evaporation of droplets subject to HF (high-frequency) perturbations, a possible cause of instabilities in injection engines. The Heidmann model, which replaces the droplets in motion in the combustion chamber by a single continuously fed droplet, is complexified by taking into account the finite conduction heat transfer phenomenon. This accentuates the damping of oscillations in the evaporation rate. We study the temperature field within the drop, as well as the response factor of a spherical drop to the high-frequency pressure field created by the engine. A pastille-shaped model of the drop is used, replacing the spherical drop, which makes it possible to go further with linearized calculations.

Finally, Chapter 6 (F. Raveloson, D. Tomboravo and R. Vony) presents the study of the interface, which is the surface of rotor blades in a Savonius wind turbine. A non-stationary and 3D flow is studied.
