Internal flow dynamics of spill-return pressure-swirl atomizers

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The sprays produced by spill-return pressure-swirl atomizers are strongly dependent on the nature of the internal fluid dynamics. Several spill-return atomizers were compared in terms of the spatial and temporal behaviour of the internal air-core, liquid sheet thickness and its perturbations. The only difference amongst the test configurations was the geometrical arrangement of the spill-line (SL) orifice through which the liquid was spilled away. The flow field inside the swirl chamber was examined using high-speed imaging with image post processing using an in-house Matlab code and three orthogonal velocity components acquired using Laser Doppler Anemometry. The dimensions of the production atomizers did not allow direct visualization of their internal flow, so a scaled, modular, transparent plexiglass model was used. Its flow characteristics were equivalent to the original atomizer. The refractive index of the atomizer body was matched to the test liquid using a solution of 1-Bromonaphthalene and kerosene fuel type JET A-1. The test conditions were derived from the original atomizer and were limited to inlet port Reynolds numbers, from 700 to 2000 and spill-to-feed ratios, SFR, from 0 to 0.75. An inviscid analysis, originally derived for Simplex atomizers, was modified and applied to the spill-return version. This approach allows a theoretical prediction of the discharge coefficient and air-core diameter dependent solely on SFR. An axially located SL orifice inhibits any internal air-core forming in the swirl chamber. Off-axial SL orifices generate and stabilize the air-core, which leads to the regular formation of a liquid sheet and a high-quality spray. Nevertheless, some configurations changed the breakup nature of the liquid sheet and consequently the spray quality. Moreover, the turn-down ratio of the liquid supply rate and spray stability depend on the distance of the SL orifices from the swirl chamber centreline. The flow energy losses increase with SFR. T
