Under rocket-relevant conditions, real-gas effects and thermodynamic nonidealities are prominent features of the flow field. Experimental investigations indicate that phase separation can occur, depending on the operating conditions and on the involved species in the multicomponent flow. During the past decades, several research groups in the rocket combustion community have addressed this topic. In this contribution, a high-fidelity thermodynamic framework comprising real-gas and multicomponent phase-separation effects is employed to investigate liquid-oxygen/methane and liquid-oxygen/hydrogen flames at high pressure. A thorough introduction and discussion on multicomponent phase separation are conducted. The model is validated with experimental data and incorporated in a reacting flow computational fluid dynamics code. Using one-dimensional counterflow diffusion flames, the thermodynamic states and processes are discussed. Both real-gas and phase-separation effects are present and quantified in terms of derived properties. Finally, the method is applied in a three-dimensional Large-Eddy Simulation of a single-element reference test case, and the results are compared to experimental data.
