- This paper represents a novel concept and development of 2-fluid atomisation ('bubbly flow') for designing a novel actuator-insert (nozzle exit arrangement) for domestic aerosol cans utilising clean air as a propellant, replacing harmful butane gas. The interaction of bubbly flow with the actuator-insert generates a highly energised turbulent state with high spraying quality. The impact of this disruptive technology, in aerosol cans, is on the reduction of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. The granted patent (WO2011/061531) based on this research is being internationally exploited with major brands.
