... the development of low-emissions technologies. Atomization modeling is often facilitated by using the Lagrangian approach rather than the more complex and computationally expensive Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) approach. However, most Lagrangian breakup models rely on empirical constants that must be fully calibrated...

...Brandon Esquivias; Brendan Hickey; Vincent McDonell; Soichiro Tabata; Shigeki Senoo The breakup of liquid films in high-speed flows is found in many applications. These include prefilming air blast atomization found in fuel injectors and shedding of droplet off of airfoils. In this work, a test rig...

...Huu P. Trinh; C. P. Chen; M. S. Balasubramanyam This paper describes numerical implementation and validation of a newly developed hybrid model, T-blob/T-TAB, into an existing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program for primary and secondary breakup simulation of liquid jet atomization...

...Ashraf A. Ibrahim; Milind A. Jog Predictions of breakup length of a liquid sheet emanating from a pressure-swirl (simplex) fuel atomizer have been carried out by computationally modeling the two-phase flow in the atomizer coupled with a nonlinear analysis of instability of the liquid sheet...
