Interdisciplinary in approach, this reference book combines results obtained by Western, Russian, and Eastern European researchers which will familiarize readers with the problems of liquid atomization. The atomization of liquids is of great practical importance and is used in almost all industries, including metal, transportation, agriculture and forest, environmental protection, food, air conditioning, and water treatment, as well as conventional and nuclear power plants. In addition to the basics of atomization processes, this book shows how to calculate and design the atomizers and how to...

This comprehensive book is based on the Navier-Stokes and other continuum equations for fluids. It interprets the analytical and numerical solutions of the equations of fluid motion. Topics included are turbulence, and how, why, and where it occurs; mathematical apparatus used for the representation and study of turbulence; continuum equations used for the analysis of turbulence; ensemble, time, and space averages as they are applied to turbulent quantities; the closure problem of the averaged equations and possible closure schemes; Fourier analysis and the spectral form of the continuum...
