| Abstract: | Atomization of fluid impacts our daily lives in unseen ways, with atomizers being used to apply everything from insectides to car paint. This work investigates the parameters for droplet formation within coaxial nozzles by studying the ejection patterns of fluids as they leave sub-millimeter nozzle openings. Understanding the properties of the resulting flow --- nominal droplet diameter, consistency of droplet size, and deposition pattern (for suspensions) --- has implications for both novel aircraft materials (e.g. lightweight, hollow steel wiring, etc.) and for jet/rocket engine fuel injectors. We fabricate nozzles on both the Formlabs Form 2/3 series and the Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT2 with a configuration featuring a 10x objective, IPQ resin, and scaffolding structure. |
