Modeling Liquid Jet Atomization Processes.
Abstract
This report summarizes efforts in developing an analytic/numerical modeling capability for both steady and unsteady liquid jet atomization processes. The research involves the application of boundary element methods to model nonlinear deformation of liquid surfaces. An inviscid model has been developed to investigate dynamics of a finite-length jet which includes the presence of the orifice flow passages. In addition, a second model has been developed to simulate gas-phase interactions with the distorting jet surface. Preliminary developments associated with a viscous model are also discussed. (AN)
