Introduction

The subject of the case is a PSA spray exposed to cross-flowing air. A small low-PSA was used for the study. This atomiser was developed for spraying aviation fuel Jet A-1 (kerosene) into the combustion chamber of a small gas turbine (GT) engine. The here documented operation conditions of the atomiser and the flow velocity corresponding to the engine's low-power or steady-flight conditions. The airflow is forced perpendicularly to the main spraying axis, which is considered a cross-flow case. The flow is homogeneous, isothermal and with low turbulence intensity, Tu. Similar atomisers of this type and size used together with the operating pressure and cross-flow air velocity conditions cover many industrial spray applications ranging from small GT combustors to chemical spray reactors. The conditions are also relevant for agriculture and domestic sprayers. The processed results of the present case were published in [2], with work carried out in the frame of projects №. GA18-15839S and GA 22-17806S funded by Czech Science Foundation. The present case is one of several cases measured and studied in [2]. The data are relevant to CFD engineers and scientists. They can distinguish the crucial phenomena to be considered in their numerical simulations of that disperse two-phase flow case. The modellers can highlight the important features of the complex two-phase flows and provide data for validation purposes. It is as well as to interesting to engineers dealing with the processes where the gas–liquid energy transfer and droplet transport are important. The case data can be used for further processing to obtain new findings of the problem, derive empirical models and serve as benchmark data.
