The aeronautical sector must reduce its pollutant emissions and its fuel consumption to face the ever more stringent environmental standards. To achieve this goal, lean combustion technologies, allowing a good combustion efficiency while limiting nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, are being developed. Those new generation combustors are nevertheless more likely to destabilize and the fuel injection system plays a significant part in stabilizing the flame, and thus maintaining an efficient combustion process. Because of their ability to offer stable performances for a large range of operating conditions, Airblast injec- tors have attracted much attention from the engine manufacturers. In such injectors, the fuel is int...
