spray with 80 kg/h liquid flow rate at the cross section of 0.12 m (left) and<br />

0.16 m (right) distance from the nozzle exit.<br />

while at higher radial distances, they un<strong>der</strong>predict the experimental results. This<br />

discrepancy may be the result of numerical scheme, which employs an explicit finite<br />

difference method to solve the transport equations of DQMOM; the results can be<br />

improved by implementing an implicit method. The post-processing of experimental<br />

data, which is explained in Subsection 4.2.2, may be the reason of the deviation, too.<br />

For an elevated liquid inflow rate of 120 kg/h, the computed and experimental<br />
