Sprays are among the most intellectually challenging and practically important topics in fluid
mechanics. This paper reviews needs, milestones, challenges, and a broad array of …

Since the year 2000, a number of very different techniques to image spray formation in
optically dense regions of atomizing sprays have appeared in the literature, been further …

The second edition of this long-time bestseller provides a framework for designing and
understanding sprays for a wide array of engineering applications. The text contains …

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 …

Spray characteristics of biodiesels (from palm and cooked oil) and diesel under ultra-high
injection pressures up to 300MPa were studied experimentally and analytically. Injection …

Atomization and mixing of sprays are key parameters to successfully describe and predict
combustion in direct-injection engines. Understanding these processes at the conditions …

This work deals with numerical simulations of atomization with high Weber and Reynolds
values. A special attention has been devoted to the modelling of primary break-up. Due to …

X-ray diagnostics have the potential for making quantitative measurements in many
flowfields where optical diagnostics are challenging, especially multiphase flows. In the past …

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

This paper implements a coupled approach to integrate the internal nozzle flow and the
ensuing fuel spray using a Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method in the finite-volume framework. A …
