The using of an elliptical nozzle has been considered as a potential method for improving the air-fuel mixing and atomization quality. The present paper focuses on the transverse jet breakup behaviors and droplet size distribution for circular and elliptical orifices in supersonic crossflow on a pulse wind tunnel test platform, and the laser based pulsed laser background imaging method and high-speed spray particle size analyzer were adopted. The results show that the jet penetration depth of elliptical 4 (Aspect ratio of 4) orifice is always smaller than that of the circular orifice. Another interesting finding is that the difference of the jet penetration depth between the circular and elliptical 4 orifices decreases with the increase of injection pressure. Moreover, the jet surface wave number of the elliptical orifice is more than that of the circular jet, and the elliptical jet surface wave length is smaller than that of circular one …
