Aerodynamically Progressed Taylor Analogy Breakup (APTAB) Model for Accurate Prediction of Spray Droplet Deformation and Breakup

An aerodynamically progressed model, which is called APTAB model. has been proposed for more accurate prediction of the deformation and breakup of a spray. Especially, the effects of the droplet deformation on the droplet aerodynamic external force are considered in this model, which was neglected in TAB model. It is found that the predicted droplet deformation using APTAB model shows better agreement with experimental data than those of other models for the droplets in both bag-type and shear-type breakup regimes. A new breakup criterion has been proposed to predict more reasonable breakup quantities, such as breakup deformation length, time and so on; i.e., it is defined that the breakup occurs when the internal liquid phase pressure of the deformed droplet at the equator is greater than that of the pole. The proposed breakup criterion shows more physical relationship between the degree of droplet deformation at breakup and the corresponding breakup Weber number as compared with the results with TAB and DDB models. Therefore, it provides better predictions of the experimental data than TAB and DDB models for the droplet deformation and time in both bag-type and shear-type breakup regimes.
