Large-Eddy Simulation of transcritical combustion is considered in this article. This analysis is motivated by rocket propulsion applications where cryogenic oxygen is injected at low temperature, below the critical value, in a high pressure environment where the pressure is above critical. Problems encountered in this range are related to the description of real-gas effects and in particular to the representation of the very large density changes which occur when a transcritical fluid evolves from low to high temperatures. The simulation also requires a suitable spatially filtered combustion model which can be used to determine the volumetric reaction rates in a situation where reaction essentially takes place in a non-premixed mode. A model is proposed and validated in the “H3” atmospheric flame configuration. This model is then used in a transcritical version of the AVBP LES flow solver. Results of calculations carried out for transcritical oxygen/supercritical methane injection are in good agreement with recent experimental data and provide additional information on the flame structure and flow configuration.
