Computational Evaluation of Spray Characteristics in Swirl Coaxial Injector with Varying Recess Length


Abstract

A spray characteristics is carried out in a numerical simulation of swirl coaxial injector. The water and nitrogen are the oxidizer and fuel is used in cold flow condition. The simulation is carried out in 3d model with varying recess length. Reynolds stress turbulence and volume of fluid model were chosen to perform the simulation. The spray characteristics have been investigated as well as the influence of the inlet swirl strength of the internal flow. Effect of recess length is studied for the axial and radial velocity decreased with a reduced length of inner injector due to the decline vortex intensity.
