N2 - This paper presents a particle approach to model the evolution of micron-sized water droplets injected into a high-temperature gas environment. The numerical approach takes into account the processes of droplet heating, desolvation, and coalescence. The modeling of droplet motion includes a slip flow correction to the continuum Stokes' expression for the drag force. A correction is incorporated to simulate kinetic effects in processes of mass transfer. The direct simulation Monte Carlo method is used to model droplet-droplet collisions. The approach is applied to calculate droplet behavior in a spatially uniform background gas and that of an argon inductively coupled plasma.
