The transformation of a liquid propellant into a semi-solid gel state paves way for
energetically improved, reliable, safer, and possibly green futuristic propellant for rocket and …

Linear and nonlinear analyses of the instabilities and distortion of liquid streams injected
into a gaseous media are discussed. The various fundamental mechanisms and the …

A linear stability analysis is presented for a liquid sheet that includes the effects of the
surrounding gas, surface tension and the liquid viscosity on the wave growth process. An …

This is the first book to encompass the fundamental phenomenon, principles, and processes
of discrete droplets of both normal liquids and melts. It provides the reader with the science …

To model sprays from pressure-swirl atomizers, the connection between the injector and the
downstream spray must be considered. A new model for pressure-swirl atomizers is …

Abstract Models were developed to describe the spray wall im**ement processes that
take place in internal combustion engines. In this report focus is placed on the model …

This work examines the impact of an unchanged longitudinal electric field and the ambient
gas on the EHD instability of an Oldroyd-B fluid in a vertical cylinder, where the system is …

A study on the characterization of sprays from Newtonian liquids produced by pressure-swirl
atomizers is presented. The global drop size spectra of the sprays are measured with phase …

An experimental and numerical study has been performed to improve the understanding of
the air/liquid interaction in an air-blasted breaking water sheet. This research is focused in …

The oscillatory Kelvin–Helmholtz (K–H) instability of a planar liquid sheet was
experimentally investigated in the presence of an axial oscillating gas flow. An experimental …
