To promote the design and optimization as well as a deeper understanding of pintle
injectors further, the progress on atomization and mixing characteristics of pintle injectors …

Swirling gas-liquid flow has a wide variety of engineering applications in petroleum,
chemical, and nuclear industries. A fundamental understanding of swirling flow patterns and …

Three-dimensional flow dynamics and mixing in a gas-centered liquid-swirl coaxial injector
at supercritical pressure is numerically studied using the large-eddy-simulation technique. In …

Gas-centered, liquid-swirl coaxial injectors similar to those used in the main chambers of
oxidizer-rich staged-combustion engines are investigated computationally, in terms of …

Gas-centered swirl coaxial (GCSC) injectors, a type used in the combustion chamber of
liquid rocket engines, have been widely investigated because their characteristics are key …

This study focuses on the fundamental combustion instability issues in staged combustion
for liquid oxygen/kerosene rocket engines. A comprehensive and high-fidelity numerical …

Recess ratio and momentum flux ratio are the key parameters in determining spray
characteristics and mixing efficiency of the propellants in rocket injectors. In this study …

The accurate prediction of flow patterns and their transition is extremely important for proper
design, operation and optimization of two-phase flow systems, since the parameters such as …

We study the liquid flow inside a recessed gas-centered swirl coaxial injector, where a
swirled liquid flowing against an outer wall is destabilized by a central fast gas stream. We …

Experimental investigations on the self-pulsation dynamics in a gas-centered swirl coaxial
atomizer are conducted using water and air. Experiments are performed in the pulsation …
