  • Liquid jet in crossflow of rectangular nozzle was investigated by numerical simulation. The influences of the aspect ratio of nozzles on the breakup behavior and deformation characteristics of liquid column in the primary breakup were emphatically analyzed. The aspect ratio ranged from 1 to 8. The results showed that at low velocity of crossflow, the surface breakup was almost unaffected by the aspect ratio of rectangular nozzles, and the column breakup mode gradually changed from bag breakup to “two-streak-one-membrane” structure. At higher velocity, surface breakup was more intense. With the increase of aspect ratio, the surface breakup first weakened and then strengthened, and the column breakup mode changed from “two-streak-one-membrane” structure to “three-streak-two-membrane” structure. With the extension of liquid jet, the width of liquid column increased gradually. The larger aspect ratio of rectangular nozzles indicated the greater surface tension, and the weaker promoting influence of crossflow on the deformation of liquid column. Thus, the trend of increasing the width of liquid column was slower. The change of liquid column thickness was not only related to the aspect ratio of nozzles, but also affected by column breakup mode in the liquid jet process. In addition, with the increase of velocity of crossflow, the influence of aspect ratio on the onset of surface breakup and column breakup gradually decreased.
