Numerical investigation of the effect of the injection angle on the spray structures of an air-blast atomizer

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the injection angle α on the spray structures of an air-blast atomizer and help enhance the understanding of droplet-gas mixing process in such atomizers in the engineering domain. Design/methodology/approach The phenomena in the air-blast atomizer were numerically modelled using the computational fluid dynamics software Fluent 17.2. The Euler-Lagrange approach was applied to model the droplet tracking and droplet-gas interaction in studied ca… Show more

“…The spray drying tower, during the experiment, is relatively closed and is considered a "black box". The phenomena in the tower are challenging to observe, and obtaining specific information about its flow field is difficult [195,196]. In recent years, the computer hardware configuration has been constantly upgraded, and various hydrodynamic calculation models have been constantly improved.…”

“…However, simplified models (turbulence neglected) may lead to inaccuracies in low-density ambient, as commonly seen in SI engines. Chen et al (2020) numerically investigated the effect of injection angle on the spray structure and droplet gas mixing using the Eularian-Lagrangian framework. The KH-RT model is used for the secondary breakup of droplets and helps understand the mixing processes.…”
