Laser based anemometry, such as Laser Doppler (LDA), Phase Doppler (PDA), and Particle Image Velocimetery (PIV) can provide an accurate description of flows without interference. This study determines experimentally the fluid motion resulting from the interaction of a liquid spray with a circular cylinder. Two experimental settings were examined: the first is a discharging spray into free air and the second is a spray impinging on a circular cylinder placed 25 cylinder diameters downstream of the nozzle. These sprays were quantified using PIV. A non-intrusive droplet sizing technique was used to characterise the spray. This has shown that, within the spray, the average droplet diameter increases when the circular cylinder is introduced and so does the frequency of occurrence of these large droplets. In the wake behind the cylinder, the smaller droplets were quickly entrained and recirculated, while the larger droplets continued in the general direction of the spray cone. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University College. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-78049262951&partnerID=40&md5=64e5b5ddeadcd62ceb4a8e8e62cec548 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Engineering Science and Technology volume: 5 number: 3 pagerange: 361-372 refereed: TRUE issn: 18234690 citation: Aroussi, A. and Lad, N. and Muhamad Said, M.F. and Adebayo, D. and Al-Atabi, M.
