This work deals with the simulation of jet disintegration in supercritical conditions. In this validation case, nitrogen at 140 K is injected into a reactor at 298 K in conditions of turbulent flow. The simulation results are confronted with experimental data from literature. The simulation also compares the use of incompressible and compressible models in order to justify the compressibility assumption frequently used in literature. Both models fit well the experimental results indicating that in the investigated conditions, compressibility effects can be neglected.
