3D-coupling of Volume-of-Fluid and Lagrangian particle tracking for spray atomization simulation in OpenFOAM

Simulations of spray breakup are challenging due to a wide range of different length and time scales. While Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) is suited for the primary breakup, the secondary breakup and the dilute spray cloud is better resolved using a Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) method.
