Fundamentals

This short course has the aim to present the current understanding and state of the art of atomization fundamentals, their realization in atomizer systems and their application in a wide variety of engineering branches, including spray drying, spray coating, spray cooling, fuel injection, etc

These aspects are first addressed theoretically in terms of hydrodynamic instabilities of liquid jets and sheets – primary atomization. This is followed by considerations about the break-up of single droplets – secondary atomization.

These fundamentals are followed by topics on diagnostics, numerical simulations, drop/wall interactions and further advanced topics and applications. In a manufacturers’ session several vendors of diagnostic equipment related to atomization and sprays will make presentations and be available for discussions.

Discuss with the experts

The program foresees discussions among the participants and the lecturers. The aim is to address ongoing development and application problems suggested by the participants.
