چکیده
Emulsion formation is of great interest in the chemical and food industry droplet breakup key process. Droplet a quiet or laminar flow well understood, however, actual in-dustrial processes are always turbulent regime, leading to more complex phenomena. Since high resolution optical measurements on microscopic scales extremely dif-ficult perform, many aspects physically unclear. To over-come this problem, scaled experimental setups (with scaling factors 5 50) used con-junction with an original scale setup for reference. In addition geometric scaling, other non-dimensional numbers such as Reynolds number, viscosity ratio density were kept constant. The allows observation phenomena macroscopic scales, whereby objective show that approach makes it possible directly transfer findings from macro- micro-/original scale. paper, which follows Part I where fields compared found be similar, shown by visualizations process similar all scales. This results detailed parameter variations investigated macro micro evaluation analysis imply triggered strongly influenced intensity motion.

Droplet Breakup in High-Speed Gas Flows
Numerical simulations are performed to study the breakup of water cylinders in the flow behind normal shocks. The computational setup is similar to previous experiments (Igra and Takayama, 2001, 2003). We examine the qualitative features of the so-called stripping breakup observed in the numerical results. Two interesting flow features are discussed: the existence of recirculation regions and a...
متن کاملDroplet Breakup in Expansion-contraction Microchannels
We investigate the influences of expansion-contraction microchannels on droplet breakup in capillary microfluidic devices. With variations in channel dimension, local shear stresses at the injection nozzle and focusing orifice vary, significantly impacting flow behavior including droplet breakup locations and breakup modes. We observe transition of droplet breakup location from focusing orifice...
متن کاملThe Effects of Shock Strength on Droplet Breakup
The breakup of droplets occurs in the combustion of multiphase mixtures and the atomization of liquid jets. Most experiments studying droplet breakup have used the passage of a normal shock to provide a step change to uniform flow conditions. In the late 1950s, Engel [2] investigated how water droplets of various sizes broke up in the flow behind air shocks of different strengths. The subsequen...
