Atomization of liquid fuel from injector in gas turbine combustors is
commonly
achieved by means of coflowing gas
stream.
A study of the re
presentative example of this scenario is presented in this paper.
An in
-
house finite volume
method based code is developed for this purpose.
Volume of fluid (VOF) method is used for capturing the interface.
Geometric multigrid method is employed for solvin
g the pressure poisson equation and it is parallelized on
Graphics
processing unit (
GPU
)
architecture to
meet the computational demand required
.
The solver is validated for standard
benchmark test cases.
The
solver is applied to study the
effect of gas to liquid velocity ratio on
primary atomization of
liquid sheet
