This study models the internal fluid flow from the center to the edge of a rotary atomizer wheel, the flow out of the atomizer, including the film, rivulet and ligament formation, as well as the subsequent atomization process associated with the atomizer outflow using computational fluid dynamics with a volume of fluid approach. The model shows how fluid exits through the overflow and not through the bushing at high inlet fluxes and can reproduce experimental results of power consumption. Furthermore, the drop-size distribution at a given distance from the bushing exit is in good agreement with experimental results. Keywords: Spray drying; Rotary Atomizer; CFD; Droplet size; Volume of Fluid.

Abstract Microfluidics plays a major role in the development of many innovative research activities aimed at the development of miniaturized devices and systems, and new applications related to microscale handling of fluids. As the field of microfluidics continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the mechanisms and fundamental differences involved in microscale fluid flow. This paper presents a summary of the experimental research efforts in the area of microscale single-phase internal fluid flow and discusses issues associated with investigating microscale flows. While the currently available experimental data indicate the presence of microscale phenomena, they do not unequivocally identify the effects. There is a clear need for additional experimental investigations.
