High-resolution measurement of flow distribution of sprays

It is described a measurement device (100) and a measurement method for measuring a flow distribution of a liquid spray stream (195) which has been atomized by a nozzle (190). The measurement device comprises at least one sensing wire (110), positioned within a spray volume of the liquid spray stream (195), an electric power supply unit (140), which is electrically connected to the sensing wire (110) and which is configured for supplying an electric current flowing through the sensing wire (110), a measurement unit (150), which is electrically connected to the sensing wire (110) for measuring an ohmic resistance change of the sensing wire (110) and a movement unit (120), which is mechanically connected to the sensing wire (110) for moving it across a spray volume of the liquid spray stream (195).
