The enhancement and inhibition of atomization and sprays cover various fields such as
industry, agriculture, and biomedical, among others. However, due to the complex …

The spray characteristics of standard and alternative aviation fuels generated by a hybrid
pressure-swirl airblast (HPSA) atomizer were investigated at high ambient pressure …

The scalability of liquid fuel operated jet stabilised combustion systems towards dimensions
and mixing timescales relevant for compact designs (eg MGT, compact aero-engines) is …

Understanding the development and breakup of interfacial waves in a two-phase mixing
layer between the gas and liquid streams is paramount to atomization. Due to the velocity …

Nowadays, numerical simulations of atomization has reached a mature state through
interface capturing approaches. With these approaches, the liquid–gas flow with its complex …

Effective liquid fuel atomization is an ultimate aim for the prefilming airblast atomizer in aero-
engines, and the liquid fuel breakup behavior is the key indicator of atomization quality …

The formation of pollutant emissions in jet engines is closely related to the fuel distribution
inside the combustor. Hence, the characteristics of the spray formed during primary breakup …

The interaction between liquid fuel and the walls poses a major challenge to using the
airblast atomizer in the combustor of an advanced aero-engine because the mechanism of …
