Combustion of sprayed liquid fuel in a swirling flow

A physicomathematical model and results of numerical studies of aerodynamics and combustion of liquid fuel in a coaxial swirling flow of a gaseous oxidizer are presented. The characteristics of liquid-fuel spraying by a centrifugal injector were determined on the basis of experimental data obtained under isothermal conditions. The influence of flow swirling on the burner characteristics is analyzed.
