ILASS - Americas, the Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, North and South America, was established in 1986 as an outgrowth of the International Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems (ICLASS).

ILASS - Americas, like other ILASS bodies, is an organization of industrialists, researchers, academics, and students engaged in professional activities connected with the spraying of liquids. Its membership is open to residents of countries that are part of the American continents. ILASS organizations have also been formed in Europe, Japan, Korea and South East Asia and there is an International Coordinating Council.

ILASS - Americas organizes an annual Conference, and supports the following nine technical committees that address the applications, analyses, and mechanisms associated with sprays and spray systems:

APPLICATIONS:

1. Rocket & Air Breathing Power Fuel Atomization and Industrial Combustion
2. Diesel & Automotive
3. Agricultural and Industrial Sprays

ANALYSES AND MECHANISMS:

1. Computational and Modeling
2. Physics of Atomization
3. Spray Measurements/Instrumentation
