N2 - We report on numerical simulations of a swirling water jet flowing out of a nozzle into a still air atmosphere at normal conditions. Primary jet breakup and atomization were studied with an emphasis on the effect of grid resolution on the results. Jet inlet diameter D was set to 0.8 mm, a bulk velocity was set to 7.6 m/s ((Formula presented.), (Formula presented.)), and the swirl rate was set to (Formula presented.). The near region of the jet (up to (Formula presented.)) was studied. The results were obtained for four different grid resolutions with the smallest cell size of 6 (Formula presented.) m. It is shown that the use of an adaptive mesh refinement procedure for interface tracking allows us to get to convergent results in terms of both droplets volume and surface area distributions, while the total number of droplets changes with the increased grid refinement level. This phenomenon may be attributed to the formation of small (grid-cell sized) droplets due to numerically-triggered instabilities at the gas-liquid interface.
