A twin-fluid pneumatic injector system with coaxial liquid and air streams mixed slightly
upstream of the outlet, is studied in a cross-flow arrangement to understand its working …

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 …

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 …

The twin-fluid atomizer employing the cross-stream mixing arrangement for air and liquid
prior to the orifice exit is investigated with a scaled-up size transparent injector. Simplistic …

Twin fluid atomizers allow for two different spray forming modes, flow focusing and flow
blurring, depending on the operating, geometric, and thermophysical properties of the …

The purpose is to produce a benchmarked commercial Volume of Fluid (VOF)-to-Discrete
Phase Modeling (DPM) numerical algorithm using an experimental study of high-viscosity jet …

This paper presents a characterization of flow-blurring (FB) and flow-focusing (FF) modes of
atomization using a new atomizer, which enables continuous transition from FB to FF …

We have developed a twin-fluid atomizer for combustion that creates a two-phase mixture of
fuel and atomizing air upstream of the injector exit where a high-pressure region is …

Flow-blurring atomization is an innovative twin-fluid atomization approach that has
demonstrated superior effectiveness in producing fine sprays compared to traditional …
