Studies have been conducted with respect to the generation of fine‐disperse aerosols with the use of an explosive disperser model based on hydrodynamic shock tube. The physicomathematical model for the process of explosive dispersion with the aforesaid design is described [1]. The use of elements in the model design to produce cavitation bubbles under the action of shock wave and ensurance of slower outflow process of a water‐steam mixture makes it possible to obtain liquid disperse aerosols.

A modified method of small-angle scattering that consists in solving a series of direct problems in aerosol optics is proposed to obtain a function of particle size distibution; a modified method of spectral transperancy is employed to determine the concentration of particles in a cloud. A measurement system comprising radiator (helium-neon laser), photodetector and recording instruments has been developed. Measurements in aerosol clouds are performed.
