Fundamentals of water atomisation: any references?

[bmorales]

Hello

I would like to know if anyone could point me to some references about atomisation.

The system I am look at is a water atomiser/spray, which goal is to atomise the liquid, enhancing the interfacial area between it and the surrounding atmosphere.

I would like to be able to estimate the superficial area of the droplets, and use this for a reaction model.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
