Swirl Injectors

The basic function of a swirl coaxial injector is to create maximal atomization of the fuel and oxidizer in the combustion chamber of a rocket engine. Swirl injectors are made by swirling oxidizer or fuel around a cylinder. This liquid is then swirled around the entirety of the cylinder until it hits a lip at the bottom of the cylinder. the liquid is then shot off in an angular sheet. The two sheets of oxidizer and fuel then eventually meet achieving near perfect atomization for a more efficient burn.
