Effervescent atomization has been a topic of considerable investigation in the literature due to its important advantages over other atomization mechanisms. This work contributes to the development of both effervescent atomizers and also laser-based techniques for spray investigation
In order to develop non-intrusive measurement techniques for spray applications, a procedure is suggested to characterize the shape of droplets using image-based droplet analyzers. Image discretization which is a major source of error in droplet shape measurement is evaluated using a simulation. The accuracy of StereoPIV system in conducting droplet velocity measurement in a spray field is also investigated.
To assist in the design of effervescent atomizers, bubble formation during gas injection from a micro-tube into liquid cross-flow is investigated using a Shadow-PIV/PTV system. The generated spray fields of two effervescent atomizers which operate using a porous and a typical multi-hole air injector are compared using qualitative images and Shadow-PTV measurement.
