A light scattering technique is combined with a tomographic transformation to convert line of sight integrated data, measured in sprays, to measurements of droplet size and concentration in volume elements within the spray. The technique is developed and assessed by systematic experiments in axisymmetric sprays generated by twin-fluid atomizers. The angular distribution of forward scattered light from a laser beam passing through the spray is measured for a series of scans with the beam passing through different sections of the spray at the same axial position. This data is transformed numerically into 'point' measurements of droplet size distribution and volume concentration and these measurements are compared with data obtained by analysis of spark photographs obtained in the same spray. 8 refs.
