Atomization characteristics and instabilities in the combustion of multi-component fuel droplets with high volatility differential

Abstract We delineate and examine the successive stages of ligament-mediated atomization of burning multi-component fuel droplets. Time-resolved high-speed imaging experiments are performed with fuel blends (butanol/Jet A-1 and ethanol/Jet A-1) comprising wide volatility differential, which undergo...
