The spray evolvement mechanism of hydrogen/oxygen rocket engines at high pressure supercritical conditions is the basis of analyzing the mechanism of combustion instability and increasing the combustion efficiency.To discuss the main mechanism controlling liquid-oxygen(LOX) spray evolvement,the 3-D integrative turbulent two-phase spray and combustion flow fields at operational conditions of a single element in a hydrogen/oxygen rocket engine were numerically studied. The special spray model for the gas-liquid shear coaxial injector and the evaporation model for high pressure conditions were adopted.The gas-liquid phase equilibrium,thermodynamics and transport properties at supercritical conditions were computed.The distribution of LOX atomized droplets and parameters of combustion flow fields were obtained.Analyzing the influences of evaporation rate of droplets,combustion rate and gas-fired eddy on the dimension and number of spray droplets,the mechanism controlling spray evolvement is described by six phases.
