Ejector-equipped vapor-compression systems for refrigeration and cooling, relying solely on
CO 2 (R744) as a natural working fluid, are perceived to be an eco-friendly and highly …

The ever more stringent vehicle emissions rules are leading gasoline engine research and
development toward the use of direct injection systems. This technology is already present …

Primary atomization of liquid injected at high speed into still air is investigated to elucidate
physical processes by direct numerical simulation. With sufficient grid resolution, ligament …

The Multiphase Flow Handbook, Second Edition is a thoroughly updated and reorganized
revision of the late Clayton Crowe's work, and provides a detailed look at the basic concepts …

Modeling and simulation of atomization is challenging due to the existence of a wide range
of length scales. This multiscale nature of atomization introduces a fundamental challenge to …

ABSTRACT A detailed understanding of the driving mechanisms behind primary atomization
is crucial to the optimization of sprays for efficient combustion in modern propulsion systems …

This paper presents a comprehensive mapping of the flow and droplet fields in turbulent non-
reacting as well as reacting dilute spray jets of acetone and ethanol fuels. The burner is well …

Recent advances in numerical methods coupled with the substantial enhancements in
computing power and the advent of high performance computing have presented first …

The three-dimensional development of instabilities and the subsequent spray formation in a
gas-liquid mixing layer are important fundamental problems in the area of multiphase flows …

The physics of atomization process involve many spatial scales, generating a wide variety of
liquid inclusions of different sizes with large density and viscosity ratios between liquid and …
