Numerical Simulation of the Breakup of Elliptical Liquid Jet in Still Air

Abstract: The numerical simulation of liquid jets ejecting from a set of elliptical orifices with different aspect ratios between 1 (circular) and 3.85 is performed for several Weber numbers, ranging from 15 to 330. The axis-switching phenomenon and breakup length of the jets are characterized by means of a volume of fluid (VOF) method, together with a dynamic mesh refinement model. This three-dimensional simulation is compared with a recent experimental work and the results agree well. It is concluded that for Weber nu… Show more

“…On the whole, a study of the oil-air two-phase flow in the under-race lubrication system needs to accurately capture the different motion patterns of the lubricant oil through phase interface tracking. The performance of the VOF method has been fully evaluated in the simulation of liquid jet breakup [19,20] and unsteady oil-gas two-phase flow in a bearing cavity [21,22].…”

“…In this study, the stages of the jetting regime are investigated experimentally and numerically by a computational fluid dynamics model implemented in ANSYS Fluent. Numerical simulations have been an important tool and have supplied extensive information about various studied phenomena [9,10], including liquid jets and their breakup [11,12]. By use of the CFD model, we determine the velocity distributions during drop formation and pinch-off at various sections throughout the liquid jet.…”
