Liquid injection into compressible crossflow has several interesting applications such as fuel injection in supersonic or hypersonic scramjet engines, thrust vector maneuvering of high speed aerial or space vehicles, and film cooling used in the thermal protection systems of space vehicles that experience atmospheric entry. The field involves many disciplines, and it is a complicated multi-phase flow field especially for compressible crossflow cases, with a unique flow topology including shock-shock and shock - boundary layer interactions. High aerodynamic shear forces, fragmentation, penetration and atomization of the liquid jet are important features that deserve detailed analyses.
The objective of this lecture series is to provide the state-of-the-art information on liquid fragmentation in compressible crossflow. Lectures will include a review of the fundamentals of the phenomena as well as recent advances relevant to the modeling, computation and measurement of the flowfield. Examples of several applications will be presented, by experts of the field from all around the world. The Lecture Series is intended not only to provide suitable training and information to engineers and scientists who wish to enter the field, but also to provide a focal point for technical discussions and an opportunity to exchange views and ideas among engineers and scientists who already work in the field.
