Secondary atomization of a liquid droplet can be achieved by subjecting it to a high-speed
gas stream. This is referred as the aerodynamic breakup, and is encountered in various …

The multiscale dynamics of a shock–droplet interaction is crucial in understanding the
atomisation of droplets due to external airflow. The interaction phenomena are classified into …

The deformation and breakup of droplets in airflows is important in spray and atomisation
processes, but the shear effect in non-uniform airflow is rarely reported. In this study, the …

In a design of scramjet engine using liquid hydrocarbon fuels, predictions of the fragment
size distribution generated by liquid droplet breakup in high-speed gas flow are useful …

The atomisation of a suspension containing liquid and dispersed particles is prevalent in
many applications. Previous studies of droplet breakup mainly focused on homogeneous …

In this paper, aerobreakup in the stagnation region of high-Mach-number flow over a bluff
body is studied with experiments and computations. Water drops of diameter 0.51–2.30 mm …

Detonation-based engines such as Rotating Detonating Engines (RDEs) have been of
significant interest for aerospace propulsion. However, most detonation-related studies have …

A droplet exposed to a high-speed gas flow is subject to a rapid and violent fragmentation,
dominated by a widespread mist of multiscale structures that introduce significant …

In this paper, the coupled level set volume of fluid and the large eddy simulation methods
are adopted to perform three-dimensional simulations of the shear breakup of a water …

This study quantitatively investigates the behaviors of single and multiple liquid cylinders
placed in the path of a traveling normal shock wave using high-fidelity numerical …
