Space Propulsion Research Laboratory- Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)
Atomization and spray

Clear images and colors
The application and utilization of sprays is not new, and in modern society, it is extensive enough that almost every industry and household uses some form of sprays. What is new is an increasing scientific interest in atomization [1]. the need to understand the physical structure of liquids under conditions of higher shear rates and interaction with gaseous flow. This need is being met with establishment of PIV measuring system in this laboratory.
