Calculations of four fuel droplet supply models are performed based on the integration of the Reynolds equations for the gas phase and the Lagrange equations for the droplet phase. A slight impact of the initial conditions on the gas temperature field nonuniformity at the combustor outlet is revealed. Comparison of the calculation results and experimental data shows that they are better reconciled in relation to radial nonuniformity than in relation to circumferential one.
