Chinese Science Bulletin

Abstract

A field method for measuring particle size distribution within a spray was developed based on extending of digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) in this note. The size distribution of a water mist was successfully measured with this method, and the measured results were compared with the simply calculated ones.
