Abstract
The atomization process occurs in the narrow region which is vicinity of the injection outlet in a practical geometry fuel injector under development in Green engine project. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the atomization phenomena only by experiment. The objective of this work is to understand the atomization mechanism by numerical study which calculated the atomization field in the near region of the injection outlet.

Reasons for using JSS2
The particle diameter is order of 10 micron in the experiment. In order to calculate this size of atomization field precisely,
large scale calculation with more than a few of hundred million of cells which size is a few micron meter order is needed and
the use of super computer is necessary.
Achievements of the Year
Numerical analysis with VOF method of the fuel atomization field is conducted and revealed the condition of the particles broken up from different speed of cross-flow jets.
