Secondary atomization of a liquid droplet can be achieved by subjecting it to a high-speed
gas stream. This is referred as the aerodynamic breakup, and is encountered in various …

The nature and airborne dispersion of the underestimated biological agents, monitoring,
analysis and transmission among the human occupants into building environment is a major …

Spray characterization in a novel twin-jet airblast injector is reported in this paper with the
focus on the study of the effect of injector air swirl on droplet characteristics and dispersion …

This study uses numerical experiments to investigate initial breakup morphology for
conditions similar to those experienced in an emulsification device (eg, a high-pressure …

The interaction of a droplet with a swirling airstream is investigated experimentally using
shadowgraphy and particle image velocimetry techniques. In swirl flow, the droplet …

Spray formation is important for liquid fuel combustion from the perspective of emissions and
sustaining combustion. Employing swirl flow increases turbulent intensity, which leads to a …

Superheated liquid jets disintegrate into numerous droplets when released into the ambient
with lower saturated pressure, driven by thermal nonequilibrium induced flashing and the …

Micro-sized droplets in air may impact aircraft wings and induce severe ice accretion. The
deformation and acceleration of a single droplet in a continuous airflow are simulated using …

We investigate the morphology and size distribution of satellite droplets resulting from the
interaction of a freely falling water droplet with a swirling airstream of different strengths by …

The size distribution of child droplets resulting from a dual-bag fragmentation of a water drop
is investigated using shadowgraphy and digital in-line holography techniques. It is observed …
