RT Journal Article ID 493d334230f350e6 A1 Roisman, Ilia V. A1 Tropea, Cameron T1 FLUX MEASUREMENTS IN SPRAYS USING PHASE DOPPLER TECHNIQUES JF Atomization and Sprays JO AAS YR 2001 FD 2001-12-01 VO 11 IS 6 OP 34 AB Estimators for size distributions and flux measurements using the phase Doppler technique are examined. One important issue identified is the difference between detection and illuminated volumes, the detection volume being a function of both particle size and particle trajectory. Previous estimate of the detection volume dependence on these parameters are reviewed, and an improvement is proposed. A further consideration is the count error due to multiple particles in the volume. A statistical correction for this effect is introduced and shown to be already significant in relatively sparse sprays. Comparisons between various estimators and a simple patternator confirm the improvements of the new estimators.
