The present study provides a numerical method for liquid jet atomization in supersonic gas crossflow. Compressibility of the gas and incompressibility of the liquid are considered. High-order accurate weighted essentially non-oscillatory schemes and the Harten–Lax–van Leer contact approximate Riemann solver are used for gas flows. Liquid flow is simulated by the Chorin projection method. The motion of the sharp interface between the gas and liquid is simulated by the volume of fluid method. In order to verify the accuracy of the numerical method, numerical and experimental results for the droplet breakup in the supersonic gas flow are compared. The method is employed to simulate the liquid jet atomization in the supersonic gas crossflow. According to numerical results, the breakup process is analyzed for four different stages. The discussion for the effect of the Mach number for the gas crossflow on the liquid jet atomization is given.
