description A numerical simulation with the Eulerian–Lagrangian point-particle approach is used to study the dispersion of nanoparticles in liquid jet flows. The volume of fluid method is used to simulate the motion of the gas–liquid interface. The particle motion is resolved by the Lagrangian point-particle model, and the collisions among particles are considered. According to the simulation results, the liquid jet atomization process can be divided into four different periods. Moreover, the nanoparticles lead to an increase in the liquid density and viscosity. The influence of the particle motion on the liquid jet breakup process is discussed. The simulation results show that the collisions would restrain particle dispersion. However, the motions and collisions of the particles would help the breakup of the liquid jet.
