RT Journal Article ID 1e7c43427128c96d A1 Khavkin, Yuriy T1 DROPLET SIZE DISTRIBUTION IN SWIRL ATOMIZERS JF Atomization and Sprays JO AAS YR 2002 FD 2002-12-01 VO 12 IS 5&6 SP 629 OP 640 AB This article describes a new concept of explaining the droplet size distribution from swirl atomizers in the non-film-forming regime of liquid flow from the atomizer. Droplet sizes, in this regime are most difficult to predict theoretically and determine experimentally. On the basis of the author's theory and experiments, work [1] demonstrates that the droplet sizes generated in swirl atomizers depend only on their specific energy and fluid viscosity. In this work it is shown that this dependence is also responsible for drop size distribution. Experimental data present this new methodology.
