The design and development of future rocket engines severely relies on accurate, efficient and robust numerical tools. Large-Eddy Simulation in combination with high-fidelity thermodynamics and combustion models is a promising candidate for the accurate prediction of the flow field and the investigation and understanding of the on-going processes during mixing and combustion. In the present work, a numerical framework is presented capable of predicting real-gas behavior and nonadiabatic combustion under conditions typically encountered in liquid rocket engines. Results of Large-Eddy Simulations are compared to experimental investigations. Overall, a good agreement is found making the introduced numerical tool suitable for the high-fidelity investigation of high-pressure mixing and combustion.
