A mathematic‐physical model is presented which describes the aerodynamically induced atomization of fluids and suspensions with Newtonian and shear‐thinning, non‐Newtonian behavior with axial hollow‐cone pressure swirl nozzles. Based on this model, it is possible to predict the Sauter mean diameter as the surface mean diameter of drops.
