Atomization characteristics of impinging liquid jetsA systematic study is presented of the atomization of impinging liquid jets investigating the effects of jet conditions (laminar versus turbulent), orifice diameter, impingement angle and jet velocity. Results are compared to current theories in terms of sheet breakup length, sheet shape and drop size. Experiments contrasting laminar and turbulent jet conditions clearly show that the jet conditions have a dramatic effect on the atomization process.
