Analysis on the atomization characteristics of aviation biofuel discharging from simplex swirl atomizer
TL;DR: In this paper, the atomization characteristics of aviation biofuel discharging from a simplex swirl atomizer into quiescent atmospheric air are studied, where the measured characteristics include atomizer flow number, spray cone angle, breakup length of liquid sheet, wavelength of undulations on liquid sheet and spray droplet size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakup processes of pressure swirl spray in gaseous cross-flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the breakup of a pressure swirl spray in gaseous cross-flow using still as well as high speed photography and showed significant variations from the breakup regime map for a plain liquid jet in crossflow.

VR Sanal Kumar,Heuy Dong Kim,B. N. Raghunandan,A. Sameen,Toshiaki Setoguchi,Srinivasan Raghunathan +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predict the ignition transient of a solid-propellant rocket motors with a nonuniform port, with sudden expansion and/or steep divergence/convergence or protrusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flame Spread with Sudden Expansions of Ports of Solid Propellant Rockets
TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown conclusively that under certain conditions of step location, step height, and port height, which govern the velocity of gases at the step by the partially ignited propellant surface or by the igniter gas Row, secondary ignition can occur far downstream of the step, This is very likely to be within the recirculating Row region.
