Abstract

The spray analysis, the knowledge of stray distribution, geometry and structures is a fundamental for many industrial applications. Here we present the optical method for non-contact spray investigation based on the principle of light interference. The advantages of this method are demonstrated on three examples from industrial application, each examining the two phase flow systems in various scales of particle diameters and impacting velocities. Demonstrated here are results analyzing EHDA atomizer, pneumatic nozzle and disintegration of the liquid behind the blade profile.
