Spray Characterization Using a Planar Droplet Sizing Technique

Abstract

Sauter mean diameter can be directly measured by simultaneously recording and rationing the intensities of laser-induced fluorescence and elastic light scattering from a two-dimensional plane within a spray field. In this study, the results obtained with this planar droplet sizing technique has been directly validated using a Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer (PDPA).
