A general view of spray combustion is given in the present paper. Spray combustion systems are widely used in industry, but the detail is still under investigation. Atomization of fuel liquid, evaporation, mixing of fuel and air, and reaction are involved in the spray combustion, and these processes take place in turbulence and interaction each other. Examples of spray combustion and their combustion categories are given. The statistics of spray which is critical for the spray combustion is discussed. Locally-homogeneous-flow model and two phase-flow model are explained to give an insight of spray combustion. A modeling based on probability density function, which is not described in detail, is potential. Recent experimental results are also described.
