  Understanding the process of primary and secondary atomization in liquid jets
is crucial in describing spray distribution and droplet geometry for industrial
applications and is essential in the development of physics-based low-fidelity
atomization models that can quickly predict these sprays. Significant advances
in numerical modelling and computational resources allow research groups to
conduct detailed numerical simulations and accurately predict the physics of
atomization. These simulations can produce hundreds of terabytes of data. The
substantial size of these data sets limits researchers' ability to analyze
them. Consequently, the process of a coherent liquid core breaking into
droplets has not been analyzed in simulation results even though a complete
description of the jet dynamics exists. The present work applies a droplet
physics extraction technique to high-fidelity simulations to track breakup
events and data associated with the local flow. The data on the atomization
process are stored in a Neo4j graphical database providing an easily accessible
format. Results provide a robust, quantitative description of the process of
atomization and the details on the local flow field will be useful in the
development of low-fidelity atomization models.
