Title: Computer modelling of swirling-type injectors
Abstract: Swirler-type injectors are inherently more efficient at atomizing liquids than jet injectors at the cost of analytical complexity. To encourage the use of swirl injectors, we propose the creation of a simpler swirl injector design process based on empirical data to make such systems more feasible. Using a combination of fluid simulation and empirical data, we want to make software that will aid the design of swirl injectors using simulink.
