Controlling ultrasonic atomization: Droplet size control through harnessing of the ultrasonically driven ejection process from orifice-free fluid interfaces
Abstract
This project aims to model and control ultrasonic droplet atomization from orifice~free interfaces byspatiotemporal control of the incident ultrasound. It will deliver a set of simple mathematical models forthe atomization based on new knowledge and understanding of how the process takes place fromexperiment and analysis. A physical embodiment of the technology will be provided in a handheldatomizer complete with a controller designed to offer unprecedented control of the droplet size andflow rate.
