An example of using fem for air flow analysis through aircraft areal injector

Abstract

In the article an example of using the Finite Element Method to determine the air distribution that is used in the atomization of fuel by the aerial injector is presented. In detail, Finite Element Method analysis appeared to be helpful in verifying the geometrical parameter of the injector – the two‐flow parameter. The Finite Element Method results data of airflow distributions at the end of sections of an aerial injector allows a real geometric parameter to be verified. Full information about this parameter has shown the need to change other geometrical parameters. This work was made within the framework of a research project financed by State Committee for Scientific Research no. 5T12D 027 24.
