Effect of geometrical and flow parameters on drop size distributions for sprays from gas-centered swirl coaxial atomizers
Implementing Organization
Project Overview
Under this project, characteristics of sprays discharging from the research and industrial atomizer configurations were studied. Experimental results were obtained on the effect of flow conditions on the drop size characteristics of sprays discharging from the gas-centered swirl coaxial atomizers. The results obtained on the analysis were compared for the two different gas-centered swirl coaxial atomizers. The results of the project were used for the indigenous development of swirl injectors for main thrust chamber of semi-cryogenic and tri-propellant engines. The injector parameters of oxidiser rich staged combustion cycle engines can be chosen based on the available experimental results.
