Simulation Study of the Swirl Spray Atomization of a Bipropellant Thruster under Low Temperature Conditions

The spray atomization of an injector significantly influences the performance and working life span of a bipropellant thruster of a spacecraft. Deep space exploration requires the thruster to be able to operate reliably at a low temperature range from −40 °C to 0 °C, so the effect of low temperature...
