An experimental and computational study of the atomization and evaporation characteristics of effervescent natural gas sprays in the presence of air coflow is presented. Two spray conditions, one with atomization at the injector exit and the other with liquid stream in the core up to approximately 20 injector diameters, were examined. The measured quantities included drop size, velocity, and number flux of drops, liquid volume flux, spray temperature, and local oxygen concentration. Numerical computations were carried out using the commercially available software package CFDRC. The numerical model was based on a point source of drops in a vapor jet, taking into account the evaporation of the drops. The computational results were useful to interpret the experimental measurements.
