Effervescent atomizers are based on mixing of gas with liquid prior to discharge. We describe the discharge of two-phase mixture and movement of droplets in gas jet using simple theoretical models, following with elucidation of droplets dynamics using experimental data for an effervescent spray. Discharge of the liquid-gas flow from the nozzle is described using a combination of two discharge models. Depending on operation conditions, 59–64% of the total discharged mass corresponds to Separated Flow Model and the rest to Homogeneous Flow Model. Discharge velocity of the liquid reaches 12–27% of the gas exit velocity. The liquid-gas velocity ratio is negatively correlated with gas-to-liquid mass ratio (GLR) and positively correlated with inlet pressure. Radial profiles of axial droplet velocity, as measured using Phase Doppler anemometry, are axisymmetric bell-shaped with a maximum in the centreline analogous to the profile defined for a simple gas jet which however is more flat near the centreline and decline much faster for higher radial positions. Mean velocity in particular spray position varies with particle size within a range of several m/s typically. This variation is closely related with particle Stokes number, Stk. Variation of mean velocity with operation pressure and GLR can be explained with discharge conditions; higher pressures and GLRs lead to higher discharge velocities that are reflected in the spray downstream. Stokes numbers are generally << 1 for particle sizes Dp up to 10 um so they smoothly follow the gas flow. Stk for size 10 um 10 and very weakly interact with the gas.
