Spontaneous ignition of fine single fuel droplets whose diameters were less than 100μm was numerically simulated. Each droplet was placed in a closed cell so that single droplets could be compared to sprays. The numerical model is fully transient, and it can continue calculation even after the droplet has completely vaporized. Fuel was n-heptane, and ambient gas was air. Initial pressure and initial air temperature were fixed at 3 MPa and 773K, respectively. The Droplet was initially at room temperature. First, a relatively simple reaction model was emploved, and the followings were shown. When overall equivalence ratio φ_<overall> was fixed to be sufficiently large, ignition limit was not observed in terms of initial droplet diameter d_0, and ignition delay took a minimum value at certain d_0. There was transition from heterogeneous ignition to homogeneous ignition with decreasing d_0. Next, a qualitatively and quantitatively reliable reaction model was employed, and two-stage ignition behavior was observed even for fine droplets. Increase in φ_<overall> showed negative influence on cool flame appearance; however, after cool flame appearance it showed positive influence on hot flame appearance.
