Abstract The experimental and simulated investigations on electrostatic spraying with twin capillaries are carried out. The starting electric voltage required for the cone-jet and the deposition characteristics of the droplets are measured. The whole spraying process, which includes jet and droplet motions, is simulated and the simulated results on the motions of jet and droplet are basically consistent with the experiments. According to the simulated results, the contributions of various electric forces to droplet movement are quantitatively analyzed and the droplet dynamic characteristics, especially the interaction mechanism between two sprays, are revealed. The test results on the droplet deposition characteristics partially support the simulated results on the droplet motion. The present work is useful for a better understanding on the interaction between sprays in double or multi-capillary system.
