The present work studies low viscosity twin-fluid atomization experimentally and analytically
to characterize and predict the droplet size distribution of the spray. The study is based on …

The shear instability occurring at the interface between a slow water layer and a fast air
stream is a complex phenomenon driven by momentum and viscosity differences across the …

Numerical simulations have been performed for a coaxial, twin-fluid nozzle to study the
influence of the angle α between the central liquid jet and the annular airflow on the primary …

Numerical simulations of liquid atomization in a two-fluid coaxial geometry have been
performed using a geometric Volume-of-Fluid method. Experimental measurements have …

We study the dynamics of atomization of a liquid column by a coaxial gas flow with varying
gas pressures. Specifically, we analyse how the gas density increase associated with …

Prefilming airblast atomization is becoming widely used in current aero engines.
Fundamental studies on the actual annular configuration of airblast atomizers are difficult to …

The interfacial instability in a two-phase mixing layers between parallel gas and liquid
streams is important to two-phase atomization. Depending on the inflow conditions and fluid …

The atomization of a water column by a gas jet flow (Reynolds number) issued from a two-
stage annular nozzle is investigated experimentally. Varying the nozzle geometry, the …

This study reports the first time-resolved particle image velocimetry characterization of a
planar two-phase mixing layer flow, whose velocity field is measured simultaneously in gas …

Using a combination of mean flow spatial linear stability and two-dimensional volume-of-
fluid (VoF) simulations, the physics governing the instability of high-speed liquid sheets …
