Fluid Dynamics and Transport of Droplets and Sprays.

Fluid Dynamics and Transport of Droplets and Sprays. William A. Sirignano. Cambridge University Press, 40 W. 20th St., New York, NY 10011-4211. 1999. 311 pp. ISBN 0-521-63036-3. $80.

This book describes the behavior of an individual droplet in a spray, the behavior of a spray, and the

critical relationships between the two. Among topics covered are transient heating (or cooling) and vaporization (or condensation), multicomponent liquid droplet vaporization, near-critical and supercritical ambient conditions, interaction of droplets with turbulent or vortical structures, distortion of the spherical shape and secondary atomization of the droplets, and computational issues. The author strives to present results in a way that will be useful for engineers, with summaries of key formulae and examples of various spray computations.
