Introduction

Lack of information in near-nozzle region • • • •

Dynamics of initial stage of spray formation? Shape, size, velocity of liquid (and vapour) fuel? Breakup mechanisms of jet and ligaments? Effect of fuel physical properties?

Shadowgraphic microscopy can yield information on: • Morphology of liquid and vapour phase • Dynamics of spray formation (uHSV) However:  Can microscopy resolve
