Numerical simulation study on the effects of liquid water atomization on the flow field and performance of aluminum-based water ramjet engines by Yuntian Zhang, Yunkai Wu, Xiwei Cao, Yuanshu Liu, Yongqiang Sun, Jing Yang, Liu Junli

“…The results showed that by selecting a suitable water droplet diameter at the water inlet and controlling the time required for water droplet evaporation and heat absorption, the working range of aluminum-water combustion reaction can be expanded and the specific impulse of the engine can be increased. In engine design and practical application, the design of the water injection nozzle upstream of the engine is critical, and the droplet diameter at the water inlet should be controlled within a suitable range. …”
