Abstract

Secondary atomization of a liquid droplet can be achieved by subjecting it to a high-speed gas stream. This is referred as the aerodynamic breakup, and is encountered in various natural and industrial processes. Here we present a concise review and discussion on the developments of the aerodynamic breakup for Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid droplets. We discuss different breakup modes, suitable non-dimensional numbers, and the role of hydrodynamic instabilities in the perspective of droplet atomization. Special attention is given to the shock induced atomization of polymeric and liquid metal droplets.
