Originální abstrakt

Rotary atomization is used in a wide variety of fields, exploiting the external control option of the spray while no high-pressure fluid is needed. Most papers on rotary atomization deal with liquid jet breakup, while external spray characteristics are rarely evaluated; this is performed currently. The water spray was measured by a two-component phase Doppler anemometer. The optical setup requires a special measurement chamber to avoid spray deposition on the optical components. Therefore, the first goal was to find a proper filter that enables the removal of biased droplets by secondary flows. Since most droplets have a similar radial-to-tangential velocity ratio at each measurement point, i.e., scattering around a line, this was the first component of the best filter. The second component was the need for a positive radial velocity component. This filter efficiently removed droplets originating from alternative processes, increasing the R-2 of the line fit. The physical soundness of this filter was checked by evaluating the effect of filtering on the angle of the velocity components of each droplet at a given measurement point. The proposed filter efficiently detected recirculation, a secondary effect of the measurement setup with less regular dataset shapes. Finally, the slope and intercept values of the fitted lines were evaluated and presented. The mean of the former followed the same trend irrespective of the rotational speed and the mass flow rate; it was principally dependent on the radial distance from the atomizer. The intercept showed a regular but less universal behavior.
