Abstract
Gas-particle flows are modeled to attempt to account for coalescence and breakup of liquid droplets dispersed within the gas phase. The one-way coupled population balance equation describing the change of number concentration by the modeled particle to particle interactions and aerodynamic forces is solved by the quadrature method of moments(QMOM). Computations are performed on a typical converging-diverging nozzle attached to a rocket motor. The Herdan's mean diameter evolution is predicted according to different droplet characteristics and pressure at nozzle inlet.
