Break-up and atomization of a round water jet by a high-speed annular air jet

TL;DR: In this article, an entrainment model of the stripping of water sheets, or ligaments, which subsequently break into smaller lumps or drops is proposed, and shown to describe the measured liquid shedding frequencies.
