This paper discusses the fundamental mechanisms of vortex–droplet interactions leading to
flow distortion, droplet dispersion and breakup in a complex swirling gas flow field. In …

In this work, interactions between cold spray and swirl airflow are characterized
experimentally and numerically for various air swirler geometries. The number of vanes …

I will provide an account of the interesting dynamics exhibited by droplets at multiple length
and time scales in completely different domains, namely gas turbines and COVID-19. In the …

Pressure swirl atomizers are widely used in gas turbines and liquid propellant rockets to
obtain improved atomization. In these atomizers, the liquid to be atomized enters through …

In this paper, novel designs of air swirlers having variable aspect ratio (VAR) with variation
in hub/tip diameter from swirler inlet to exit are proposed and the performance of VAR …
