Cover Story: This study investigated the interactions between airstream and liquid injection or droplets in a central staged lean direct injection combustor with a variety of optical diagnostic techniques, including time-resolved particle image velocimetry, time-resolved planar Mie scattering, and a laser particle size analyzer. The results indicate that the lip recirculation zone and the swirl jet zone significantly influence droplet spatial and size distribution, such as spray penetration, cone angle, and droplet size. The effect of the gas Weber number, the spray cone angle, and penetration for both the pilot and main stage are obtained. For the dual-stage swirl atomizer investigated in this study, good atomization can be achieved under low operating conditions, which provides a theoretical foundation and data support for the improvement and design of a low-emission, high-performance atomizer.
