Abstract

This research focuses on the fluid dynamics analysis and empirical validation of a modified pintle-type fuel injector through computational modeling. The primary aim is to assess the injector's performance metrics, including spray dispersion and orientation, flow velocity, turbulence levels, and vortex formation, by adjusting the pintle's positioning, which inherently modulates the flow rate. The observed effects draw parallels with the interactions seen in conical spray and hollow cone swirl atomizers. A pintle-type fuel injector model was developed using geometric design software, and computational fluid dynamics simulations were conducted to ensure effective fuel and oxidizer blending. This study evaluates key performance indicators, such as thrust output and combustion efficiency, under specific operational pressures and velocities at the injector's orifice.
