Measurements of droplets characteristics in a swirl-stabilized spray flame

An Experimental Investigation on the Spray Flows Exhausted from a Counter-swirling Air-blast Nozzle

“…They noted that the center of the flow contained mainly larger droplets that seemed to overpower the CTRZ. [10] This hypothesis is constant with the data presented here. Other observations are that in general the spray cone angle is smaller for the air only flow than the water and air combined, and that the air only flow is highly asymmetric.…”

Evaluation of effervescent atomizer internal design on the spray unsteadiness using a phase/Doppler particle analyzer

“…Recently, unsteady analysis of sprays is a hot topic in the spray area and a study of the spray unsteadiness is finding its wide applications in engineering [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. First, an unsteady spray has a negative influence in combustion application.…”

Experimental study and RANS calculation on velocity and temperature of a kerosene-fueled swirl laboratory combustor with and without centerbody air injection

“…Liquid fuel/air mixing in CRZ has a strong influence on the combustion efficiency and flame stabilization in swirl combustors [8,9]. Hardalups et al [10] found that swirling flows have a potential of enhancing liquid droplets/air mixing, increasing complete droplets combustion and promoting the decomposition of the liquid sheet.…”
