Characterization Of Sprays From Dual Impinging Jets On A Splash Plate, Christopher Vodney, Stephen Heister, Brandon Kan, David Stechmann

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

The use of splash plates and dual impinging liquid jets are common methods for fuel atomization, but the combination of these methods has not been explored. The goal of this experiment is to analyze how splash plate position and orientation affect the spray geometry for this combined method. The spray patterns are observed for a single jet against a splash plate and two orientations of dual impinging jets against a splash plate. For all three cases, the spray patterns are analyzed for various splash plate angles between 30 and 60 degrees relative to the jet centerline. For the dual impinging …
