In this study, numerical simulations were conducted using a validated multiphase solver implemented in OpenFOAM to investigate the flow dynamics between two bi-swirl injectors. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was employed to capture interface interactions, while an LES one-equation eddy viscosity model was utilized for turbulence modeling. Two scenarios were examined: one with both injectors swirling in the same direction, and another with opposite swirl directions. Detailed analyses were conducted on the flow dynamics inside the injectors and the spray characteristics outside. The examination included the convergence and interaction of the injector sprays, their influence on the internal flow field, and the alterations arising from the merging of these sprays.
