AB - A primary atomization model for visco-elastic liquid is established based on  the ligament formation assumption and dispersion relationships. Two linear  instability analyses are used in presented paper. Both of them are involved  in the primary atomization model and the calculated results are compared with  published experimental data. After validation, the model is used to predict  the effects of various operating conditions and visco-elastic liquid physical  properties on atomization performance.
