Stable elliptical spray was observed from another nozzle with 700 m needle-lift. Full hollow-cone spray was observed with 50 m needle-lift. The sprays with 350 m needle-lift in this study are in transient stage of full hollow-cone to stable elliptical spray.

Summary Development and breakup of multi-orifice nozzle spray are dictated by
branching multi-jet-flows induced by complex inter-nozzle flows. In the near-field, branching jet-flows with same axial velocity and have
cylindrical or tubular structures were observed and these formed ellip-tical spray in one case and hollow circular spray in another.
At downstream, wavy instabilities associated with branching jet-flows appear on the spray and develop into thin membranes. The thinned membranes breakup first into ligaments by aerodynamic drag and then cylindrical flows breakup later at farther downstream.
