Abstract
A computational study of the deformation and surface wave properties of nonturbulent round liquid jets in gaseous crossflow is described. The objective of the study was to consider effects of liquid viscosity, liquid/gas density ratio, and crossflow Weber number that are representative of practical sprays. Three-dimensional computations of the deformation of round liquid jets in gaseous crossflow were carried out using FLUENT software utilizing its Volume of Fluid (VOF) module. The computations were evaluated satisfactorily based on earlier measurements of the properties of nonturbulent round liquid jets in crossflow (liquid jet deformation and surface waves) and revealed three-dimensional properties of the surface waves that could not be observed by previous measurements that were taken from the side of the jet.
