| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For the development of spacecraft engines on orbit, it is required to realize highly efficient operations in wide conditions. Impinging atomization, which has been widely utilized in liquid rocket propulsion systems, is able to produce fine drops at a rated operation. In contrast, however, the atomization characteristics deteriorate under off design conditions when injection velocity comes to be slower. In the present study, an effective technique is verified utilizing small amount of gas injection at off design operation. To clarify the flow field and the mechanism of the effectivity, experimental visualizations, drop size measurements and corresponding numerical analyses are carried out. It is elucidated that atomization is drastically promoted when the dynamic pressure of gas overcomes that of liquid at the impingement point. In addition, the optimized atomization efficiency is clearly presented.
