PREFACE: NON-NEWTONIAN DROPS AND SPRAYS

The interest in non-Newtonian sprays has increased considerably in recent years, driven by their relevance to applications such as coating and painting, spray drying, additive manufacturing, food processing, drug delivery, gelled rocket propellants, and many others. Whilst atomization of Newtonian fluids, such as water and liquid fuels, is well understood and has been transferred into relatively mature technologies, the physics of non-Newtonian fluids atomization is poorly understood to date, and the literature on this topic is still in its infancy.
