VOF Multiphase model is used to simulate the flow inside a pressure-swirl-atomizer. The capability of the Reynolds Stress Model and variants of the K-ε and K-ω models in modeling of turbulence has been investigated in the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT 6.3. The Implicit scheme available in the volume-of-fluid (VOF) model is used to calculate the interface representation between phases. The atomization characteristics have been investigated as well as the influence of the inlet swirl strength of the internal flow. The numerical results have been successfully validated against experimental data available for the computed parameters. The performance of the RNG K-ε model was found to be satisfactory in reducing the computational cost and introducing an effective Weber number for the flow simulated in this study.

The context of the present work is an investigation of the influence of geometry on the structure of the pressure swirl atomizer internal flow. Vizualisations and measurements techniques (LDA and PIV) are used on a large-scale pressure swirl atomizer. The behaviour of inlets jets and the development of the swirling flow are studied. Measurements of the aircore/liquid interface instabilities revealed the fundamental influence of inlet slots and exit orifice. Finally, a comparison between experimental results and a 2D numerical simulation is presented.
