Sprays in engineering applications: modelling and experimental studies

The sixth meeting of the UK Fluids Network SIG on Sprays was recently held at the University of Edinburgh's Pollock Halls on 16th August 2019.

Beginning with an introduction by Prof Mark Linne, a day of presentation and discussion was followed by dinner at the Salisbury Arms.
