Abstract

A method for generating an aerosol includes the step of guiding a gas which flows at supersonic velocity and which has input particles suspended therein in such a way that a compression shock occurs. The input particles are broken down into smaller output particles upon crossing the compression shock. A device for generating an aerosol is also provided.
