Schlieren image velocimetry (SIV) is based on light deflection through flow heterogeneities
and image cross-correlations. This is a low-cost and relatively low complexity technique that …

Efficient and clean combustion of jet fuels highly relies on their spray characteristics. Prior
studies have shown that the flow blurring (FB) injector developed in the recent decade could …

Previous studies have demonstrated that the two-phase swirl burst (SB) injector incurred
ultra-fast and fine atomization, rather than a breaking jet core/film of conventional air …

Jet fuels with various properties are desirable for different operational or environmental
advantages, necessitating fuel-flexible technology. For example, JP-5 (A-3) and alternative …

Clean and efficient combustion of liquid fuels depends on spray fineness that aids fast fuel
vaporization and better fuel–air mixing. Swirl-burst (SB) atomizers generate fine droplets at …

To overcome the environmental problems during manufacturing process, the twin-fluid
atomization has been demonstrated as an efficient technique to reduce the lubri-cooling …

Glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel, has moderate energy but high viscosity, making clean
combustion challenging. Quickly evaporating fine fuel sprays mix well with air and burn …

This review summarizes the state of the art of flow blurring atomization, focusing both on
fundamental aspects of this atomization mode as well as key observations made from …

This study presents a comparative analysis of droplet and conical liquid film velocities in
sprays by a pressure swirl injector with Abramovich geometric constant K= 1.986. The …

This study explores combustion of highly oxygenated fuel blends (glycerol/methanol, G/M) to
mitigate carbon footprint using a novel fuel injector, called Swirl Burst (SB) injector. The …
