Abstract: | The operation of a source of charged aerosol particles which consists of a supersonic nozzle, a corona-forming needle-shaped
electrode, and a device for injecting liquid droplets into a gas flow is considered. A theoretical model for two-dimensional,
two-phase flow in the nozzle is considered. An algorithm of numerical calculation of such a flow is developed, and results
of calculations of the electric transport current from the nozzle are given.
