This paper presents results of a multiphase computational fluid dynamics code utilizing a coupled level-set/volume-of-fluid method to simulate liquid fuel atomization. The coupled approach combines the mass conservation properties of the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method with the accurate surface reconstruction properties of the level-set (LS) method, and includes surface tension as a volume force calculated with second-order accuracy. The multiphase code builds upon a methodology developed by Sussman et al. [1] which enables bubbly flow, liquid breakup, and phase change simulations. Extensions to the model presented in this paper include coupling to a Lagrangian dispersed phase model for postbreakup tracking of droplets and multiple level-sets for tracking of surfaces and droplets of multiple species. Two simulations of like-on-like jet impingement of relevance to liquid rocket engine combustion are presented here, at low and high injection velocity, with comparison to validation data. Also shown is the first-ever demonstration simulation of unlike impinging jets.
