Abstract A consistent real gas framework based on a preconditioning scheme is implemented into the CFD code TASCOM3D to simulate nonreacting and reacting turbulent flows with transcritical injection. All thermodynamic properties and partial derivatives are rigorously evaluated from the reduced residual Helmholtz energy by use of fundamental thermodynamic relations. The Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state with an optional volume translation is employed in combination with high-pressure models for the calculation of fluid transport properties. Three test cases are simulated to validate the implemented real gas framework using different turbulence modeling strategies. A good match between numerical and experimental data is obtained.
