New approaches to studies of spray systems were demonstrated by a series of experiments involving liquid jets spraying in liquids. Attention was focused on those conditions where the stresses causing breakup arose from the inertia of the surroundings and where the induced motion of the surroundings controlled the characteristics of the spray zone in front of the orifice. Experiments and analysis involved principle of balanced stresses, dispersion angle, motion of induced phase, development of spray zone, and drop size.
