Abstract
An estimate of droplet collision frequency was obtained in a pressure-atomized fuel spray. Measurement of the vertical linear depolarization ratio was used to provide information on droplet sphericity which in turn was used to determine droplet collision frequency. The results indicate that droplet collision frequency increases near the spray boundary where the droplet number density is a maximum.
