Abstract
Collision and breakup are the two main processes of the inter-impingement spray within internal combustion engines. Previous models did not comprehensively account for five collision regimes that delineate collision dynamics under high-pressure conditions, leading to deviations in the prediction of Sauter mean diameter (SMD) and frequency of bouncing regime. Hence, this article integrates an
improved composite collision model for high-pressure conditions, incorporating all collision regimes,
as well as the generation of satellite droplets. Due to the significant dependence of collision regimes on
the geometric relationships between collision pairs, this article advocates the combined utilization of
the composite collision model with the absolutely deterministic trajectory (ADT) model. Furthermore,
the calculation method of the breakup length Bl that separates the primary and secondary breakup is
modified for high-speed inter-impingement sprays. Extensive validation of binary droplet collisions
and inter-impingement sprays are conducted. The comparative analysis reveals that the conventional
Bl overestimates the penetration, the simplified collision model overestimates the SMD, while the present
model agrees well with experimental results. Results show that a slight increase in global SMD and a significant reduction in velocity after the impingement point. Downstream of the impingement point, SMD at the ends exceeds that in the middle when the impinging distance <i>S</i><sub>z</sub> > <i>B</i><sub>l</sub>, contrasting with the situation when <i>S</i><sub>z</sub> < <i>B</i><sub>l</sub> and closer to the impingement point. Moreover, the occurrence of the coalescence regime is more frequent during secondary breakup than in primary breakup before the impingement point.
