Abstract
The physico-chemical process of evaporation of a cloud of droplets moving in a turbulent gas flow is a very complex phenomenon of major importance for many applications. Its difficulty stems from the large number of interacting parameters on which it depends. When a droplet is in motion, the flow around it modifies the boundary condition for momentum, heat and mass transfert; the latter is directly related to the velocity of the particle and to the partial pressure of vapour in the neighbouring fluid. If these are sometimes known in the case of a single drop displacing in a given environment, they are not when it follows a random trajectory inside of a cloud of similar particles. It is then necessary to elaborate mathematical models that represent the physical phenomenon considered as a whole.
