The context of the present work is an investigation of the influence of geometry on the structure of the pressure swirl atomizer internal flow. Vizualisations and measurements techniques (LDA and PIV) are used on a large-scale pressure swirl atomizer. The behaviour of inlets jets and the development of the swirling flow are studied. Measurements of the aircore/liquid interface instabilities revealed the fundamental influence of inlet slots and exit orifice. Finally, a comparison between experimental results and a 2D numerical simulation is presented.
