5. Eulerian modeling

The complexity of the atomization process raises the question of the need for detailed modeling of drop formation. A global representation providing averages and variances of sizes, velocities and other characteristics of the two-phase flow would suffice to dimension atomizers and meet most requirements in this field. The difficulty in this case is to formulate the effects of liquid break-up in a comprehensive way. An effective model is that developed in by Vallet and Borghi, outlined...
