The Y-jet nozzle is a twin-fluid nozzle that has a larger operating range and simpler structure than other twin-fluid nozzles. Furthermore, it offers outstanding atomization quality even at low flow rates, mak ing it simple to atomize viscous liquids. However, because of the structure of the Y-jet nozzle, having an asymmetrical spray pattern is limited. Most existing experimental studies focused on the orifice diameter and mixing tube length. In this study, two types of elliptical nozzles and one type of circular nozzle were tested. We found that the elliptical nozzle’s asymmetric spray characteristics are different from those of the circular type. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the spray characteristics were different even in ellipsoids, with only the major and minor axes differing.
