Atomized spray droplet size prediction from multi-hole nozzle for direct injection gasoline engines
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2017 We investigated atomized spray droplet size from multi-hole nozzles for direct injection gasoline (DIG) engines. Our findings showed that the droplet size can be described by the nozzle-hole geometry. For the DIG engine, adequate spray pattern and finely

Droplet Size Distribution in Spray
Chemical engineering, 1969 スプレーノズル先端で形成される薄膜の激粒化過程をランダム・ウォークモデルから考察し, 生成される液滴の粒径分布が対数正規分布となることを示した。さらに最大粒径を考え, 反射壁のあるランダム・ウォークを用いて対数正規分布を補正すれば, 実測値とよい一致を示すことが判った。平均粒径は, 最大粒径と対数標準偏差とから容易に計算できる。
