Normalized Spray Flux Distribution in Impinging Atomization

Numerical Models for Viscoelastic Liquid Atomization Spray

Atomization spray of non-Newtonian liquid plays a pivotal role in various engineering applications, especially for the energy utilization. To operate spray systems efficiently and well understand the effects of liquid rheological properties on the whole spray process, a comprehensive model using Euler-Lagrangian approaches was established to simulate the evolution of the atomization spray for v...

High-Fidelity Simulations of Primary Breakup and Impinging Jet Atomization

Numerical Simulation of Primary Atomization of Non-Newtonian Impinging Jets

Newtonian impinging jets have been investigated for decades. However, limited is known about non-Newtonian impinging jets. The present work attempts to improve this situation by performing high-fidelity numerical simulations of non-Newtonian impinging jet dynamics. Emphasis is placed on the near field of the liquid sheet formed by the impingement of two shear-thinning (viscosity deceases with i...

Nano-Stereocomplexation of Polylactide (PLA) Spheres by Spray Droplet Atomization

A direct, efficient, and scalable method to prepare stereocomplexed polylactide (PLA)-based nanoparticles (NPs) is achieved. By an appropriate combination of fabrication parameters, NPs with controlled shape and crystalline morphology are obtained and even pure PLA stereocomplexes (PLASC) are successfully prepared using the spray-drying technology. The formed particles of varying D- and L-LA co...

Production Flux of Sea Spray Aerosol

[1] Knowledge of the size‐ and composition‐dependent production flux of primary sea spray aerosol (SSA) particles and its dependence on environmental variables is required for modeling cloud microphysical properties and aerosol radiative influences, interpreting measurements of particulate matter in coastal areas and its relation to air quality, and evaluating rates of uptake and reactions of g...
