As the demand for powerful, light energy sources continues to grow, traditional
electrochemical batteries are no longer sufficient and combustion-based power generation …

In this work, planar two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (2p-LIF) is applied for the first
time to analyze the fluid dependent spray structure and atomization behavior of water and …

Schlieren image velocimetry (SIV) is based on light deflection through flow heterogeneities
and image cross-correlations. This is a low-cost and relatively low complexity technique that …

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 …

Clean and efficient combustion of liquid fuels depends on spray fineness that aids fast fuel
vaporization and better fuel–air mixing. Swirl-burst (SB) atomizers generate fine droplets at …

A multi-agency effort is underway to decarbonize the aviation industry by 2050 and replace
current fossil fuels such as Jet A. Carbon-free hydrogen-based technologies are a long-term …

Glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel, has moderate energy but high viscosity, making clean
combustion challenging. Quickly evaporating fine fuel sprays mix well with air and burn …

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 …

Abstract Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are carried out targeting an unconfined premixed
bluff body burner operated with ethanol, n-heptane, Jet A, and a Sustainable Aviation Fuel …

This study explores combustion of highly oxygenated fuel blends (glycerol/methanol, G/M) to
mitigate carbon footprint using a novel fuel injector, called Swirl Burst (SB) injector. The …
